but boy was I

and I wrote nonsense notebooks
but boy was I wrong
and I tried to set myself free
but boy was I wrong
and I felt better as the words left me
to sit there on that page!
but boy was I wrong
and I thought that I was worthless
but boy was I wrong
and I thought that I was a genius
but boy was I wrong
and I thought that I'd find my way
but boy was I wrong
and I thought I'd be lost forever
but boy was I wrong
and I thought that I was right
but boy was I wrong
and I thought that I was wrong
but boy was I wrong
