lyrics

everything was fine everything was good
now there's only rubble where great buildings once stood
my life has changed i've lost my footing my bearing
the pages of my life neatly written now are tearing

how could this be
i had no reason to believe that this could happen to me
the world i once knew is no longer true
and the one that i'm left with is so frightening to see
how could this be

others have their problems i once had those too
now i'd gladly trade mine for theirs if only that's what i could do
i used to be so happy i used to have it made
now i feel as though i have a mysterious debt to be repaid

how could this be
i had no reason to believe that this could happen to me
the world i once knew is no longer true
and the one that i'm left with is so frightening to see
and the one that i'm left with is so frightening to see
how could this be

how dare this be the case what gall to mess with me
i've never hurt another least not intentionally
what nerve of him to enter my peaceful little town
he's come into my life and turned it upside down
i am hurt i am bitter and for the life of me
i cannot see how this could be
