Confidence

Every bad thing you told me,
that's never how I saw you.
The person that stood before me,
held everything good and true.

Even knowing all your past,
knowing who you used to be,
no matter what, I never saw it
cause that's not who you were to me.

Whatever happened to that boy,
the one I used to know?
Ever so confident and so sure,
where in the world did he go?

I never did anything but believe -
not that hard when it came to you.
Why do I still have faith in all you can be
thought you've forgotten it all out of the blue?

Where did the guy I used to know go?
What suddenly made it all change?
I can't find him no matter how hard I look,
he's disappeared out of range.

Whatever happened to that boy,
the one I used to know?
Ever so confident and so sure,
where in the world did he go?

Once in awhile, I still catch a glimpse
and I try to hold on, but you see
I can't stay attached, I have to let go
and hope he'll realize that he belongs with me.

It's such a lonely life when you try to hold on
to those who are no longer there.
Even though you may see them once in awhile,
when you look again, they've dissolved in thin air.

Maybe one day he'll look around,
and if he looks long enough, he'll find
that the ghost of me will be around as well,
and for once, I'll be stuck on his mind.

Whatever happened to that boy,
the one I used to know?
Ever so confident and so sure,
where in the world did he go?
