Going Wrong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been thinking of the things you said to me
And I don't know if I can be
what you wanted me to be
I'm sorry if I failed
I'm sorry that I tried
It's a wound but now it's cut and dried
And I don't know what it's gonna be
All the illusions and dishonesty
A broken record -- the same old song
Everything is going wrong
We only have the time to make so many mistakes
One try to keep it real -- better than a hundred that are fake
A candle in the wind gets snuffed before it glows
I'm the candle, you're the wind -- so go ahead and blow
And I don't know what it's gonna be
Every wrong answer all I ever see
A broken record -- the same old song
Everything is going wrong
And I don't know what it's gonna be
Drowning in a sea of dishonesty
This is your story -- this is your song
"Come as you are" but come along
Totalitarian mentality
I tried it on but that's not me
Expectations -- I failed to measure up
Here's the poison -- would you like a cup?
Your perfect world was going strong
Your perfect world is going wrong
