Whatever (Act IV: The Looking Back)

Whatever you think that you saw in me
Whatever you loved
Whatever your pain and your hurtful words
How you stood me up

It was easy to see myself as the victim
I was right, you were wrong
But after this time, last night I started drinking
And I saw who I was

I gave you just an illusion
Oh, I gave you ghosts and confusion
I locked myself in my music
'Cause how could you love my delusion

Whatever you think that you see in me now
Believe me, I've changed

It was easy to see yourself as the villain
You had won, I had lost
But after a couple drinks I started thinking
That I did it all wrong

I gave you just an illusion
Oh, I gave you ghosts and confusion
I buried myself
When you said: "let's dance"
I hid through it all,
Too scared of the fall
Now honey I know,
That I started all
Building those walls
That I blamed you for
'Cause how could you love my delusion?

Whatever I think that I saw in you
Just know that I loved
