in every way, i had it all
the perfect mate, the perfect state
in every way

in every way, i never knew
selfish, alive and satisfied
in every way

but the sun parted the clouds

and only now, only today
am i shook awake
in every way

in every way, i lost it all
i wasn’t free, but i had to be
in every way

in every way, i gave it up
right from the start, tore it apart
in every way

and the clouds covered the sun

and now i know
know what i left
what i threw away
in every way
