I couldn't see the shadows in the dark 'Til someone turned the light on And freed me from the past Everything I know I learned from you But the stories that you told me Were never true Oh, once upon a time You turned water into wine Pulled the wool over my eyes Bathing me in lies Now the river's running wild Feel the turning of the tide Made my peace and paid my price Now I'm taking back my mind Taking back my mind I couldn't see or hear or even speak 'Cause everyone's a sinner if they don't believe Deaf to any controversy All the whispers 'round the table Used to promise me that Oh, once upon a time You turned water into wine Pulled the wool over my eyes Bathing me in lies Now the river's running wild Feel the turning of the tide Made my peace and paid my price Now I'm taking back my mind Taking back my mind Let me leave quietly Don't hold me back or cause a scene Let me leave quietly I'll leave you with some dignity Let me leave quietly Don't hold me back or cause a scene Let me leave quietly I'll leave you with some dignity Oh, once upon a time You turned water into wine Pulled the wool over my eyes Bathing me in lies Now the river's running wild Feel the turning of the tide Made my peace and paid my price Now I'm taking back my mind Taking back my mind Taking back my mind (Let me leave quietly) (Don't hold me back or cause a scene) Taking back my mind (Let me leave quietly) (I'll leave you with some dignity)
