I Hated What I Found

I was standing on the platform waiting for the train to come To take my hopes and all my dreams to the other side of town To a side that's just as lonely as the one that I'd come from I'd been changing sides for twenty years trying to find where I belong It was just then that a train pulled in on the other side of the track The sight of her hit me so hard it took my mind right back To a time when we were married so many years ago It was only now I realised how much I'd loved her so I said I had to leave her as tears fell from our eyes And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound At last I knew I'd found myself, but I hated what I'd found I know she never saw me there and it came as some relief Cause to see me as a broken man I knew would give her grief She reached across and took his hand and held her children tight There's nothing that I've ever seen as cruel as that sight I said I had to leave her as tears fell from her eyes And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound At last I knew I'd found myself, but I hated what I'd found I've walked 1000 miles or more without going anywhere I found a thousand answers as to why nobody cares There's none so blind that seek the truth in a sea of empty words I found myself life looking at the stars Instead of listening to the birds I said I had to leave her as tears fell from her eyes And through the tears all I could see was me, myself and I I said I had to find myself, it sounded so profound Ah yes I had to find myself, but I hated what I'd found At last I knew I'd found my myself, but I hated what I'd found
