I Hated What I Found

I was standing on the platform waiting for the train to come
To take my hopes and all my dreams to the other side of town
To a side that's just as lonely as the one that I'd come from
I'd been changing sides for twenty years trying to find where I belong

It was just then that a train pulled in on the other side of the track
The sight of her hit me so hard it took my mind right back
To a time when we were married so many years ago
It was only now I realised how much I'd loved her so

I said I had to leave her as tears fell from our eyes
And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I
I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound
At last I knew I'd found myself, but I hated what I'd found

I know she never saw me there and it came as some relief
Cause to see me as a broken man I knew would give her grief
She reached across and took his hand and held her children tight
There's nothing that I've ever seen as cruel as that sight

I said I had to leave her as tears fell from her eyes
And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I
I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound
At last I knew I'd found myself, but I hated what I'd found

I've walked 1000 miles or more without going anywhere
I found a thousand answers as to why nobody cares
There's none so blind that seek the truth in a sea of empty words
I found myself life looking at the stars
Instead of listening to the birds

I said I had to leave her as tears fell from her eyes
And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I
I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound
Ah yes I had to find myself, but I hated what I'd found
At last I knew I'd found my myself, but I hated what I'd found
