What Did I Do 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 touched you softly as I would a child
I listened to your problems like a friend
I opened up my soul, told you every fear and goal
For you I lied, for you I stole
I forgave you and forgot the times
You treated me so wrong
So tell me what, my wild and careless love did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
I felt you slipping far away from me
And building up imaginary walls
You wanted to be free
But you could have been with me
You wanted you, I wanted we
And I knew you'd have to leave
But never knew how long
So tell me what, my sweet and thoughtless love did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
Was it wrong to make you laugh
Was it wrong to worship you
I can make it on my own
It's just that I don't want to
And I knew you'd have to go
But didn't know how long
So tell me what, my lost and priceless love did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
