What It Did

Four o’clock sure comes quickly The early bird gets the worm Meetings at 6:30 I’ve worked so hard for all I’ve earned I was focused on the future Trying to build my legacy Rising to the top I lost all sight of you and me {Pre-chorus} Yea - I lost my mind - The tears you cried I didn’t think this whole thing through The dreams we shared - how much you cared I lost it all when I lost you {Chorus} Now I’m staring in the mirror Wondering what all this life means All those broken promises Late night meetings - too many drinks What started out as good intentions Now’s got the best of me I like what I did But not what it did to me Those early years in high school The prettiest thing I’d ever seen We talked about our future We laugh we cried - those teenage dreams But somewhere along the way I lost her love - I lost my mind It’s so hard to face the fact Money can’t pay back lost time {Pre-chorus} Now I’m all alone - with no one home Heaven help me make it through The dreams we shared - how much you cared I lost it all when I lost you {Chorus} Now I’m staring in the mirror Wondering what all this life means All those broken promises Late night meetings - too many drinks What started out as good intentions Now’s got the best of me I like what I did But not what it did to me I was living – living my own dream I like what I did But not what it did to me
