[Verse 1]
I did what I did because I wanted to
And it felt so good at that altitude
So I set free what I kept inside
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

[Chorus]
And I was wrong and I know
It burns as bad as it shows
I've thought it out and I've got no explanation
But I don't know what to say
A lie would get in the way
I did what I did
I did what I did because I wanted to

[Verse 2]
I did what I did 'cause I wanted to
How can I fix what I can't undo?
And I don't expect you to sympathize
I'm seeing your pain in our goodbyes
Trying to change what I can't hide

[Chorus]
But I was wrong and I know
Burns as bad as it shows
I've thought it out and I've got no explanation
But I don't know what to say
A lie would get in the way
I did what I did
I did what I did because I wanted to
I did what I did because I wanted to
[Bridge]
Why would I stay in
When I can go downtown?
Why keep delayin'
What I know is right?
No, I can't deny

[Chorus]
I was wrong and I know
It burns as bad as it shows
I've thought it out and I've got no explanation
But I don't know what to say
A lie would get in the way
I did what I did
I did what I did because I wanted to
I did what I did because I wanted to
I did what I did because I wanted to
I did what I did because I wanted to
