Lyrics

(Cathy Majeski, Sunny Russ, Stephony Smith)

My world revolved around you

Every word was a promise I was hangin' on

Swept up inside a whirlwind

I just couldn't see the end till you were gone

I thought I would fall apart

With shattered dreams and a broken heart

Scramblin' in the dark

Chorus:

How was I to know

That I'd be OK

Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away

How was I to know

What I was so afraid of

Turned out to be my freedom in disguise

Now I know what I'm made of

Guess it just took some time to realize

I was blind I couldn't tell

Put too much faith in someone else

I gave up on myself
