It might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind  
Perhaps there's a thing or two
I think of lying in bed, I shouldn't have said  
But there it is.    
You see it's all clear
Dm7 Bm7b5 E F E F (trill)
You were meant to be here
From the beginning  
Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel, not been such a fool  
What ever was done is done
I just can't recall, it doesn't matter at all  
    
You see its all clear
Dm7 Bm7b5 E F E F (trill)
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
