If I Was Right

I saw it coming from a mile ago

A flash of lighting on a winding road

Wait till I'm paralyzed, then pull me close

And tell me something I don't wanna know

Soft as a whisper

And sharp as a knife

The brightest emotion

Made both of us blind

I carved out a picture

Of you in my mind

The pain washed away

But the scars survive

You betrayed the trust

You're ashamed of us

If I was right

I can close my eyes

You thought I hit you with a cannonball

And that heart of stone must've been hard to fall

But when the hurricane had conquered all

I heard crying through a crumbled wall

Soft as a whisper

And sharp as a knife

The brightest emotion

Made both of us blind

I carved out a picture

Of you in my mind

The pain washed away

But the scars survive

You betrayed the trust

You're ashamed of us

If I was right

I can close my eyes
