I Was 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.

When I was young, I was so full of fear

I hid behind anger held back the tears

It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win

The world fought back punished me for my sins

I felt so alone, so insecure,

I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard

And they tried to warn me of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves, well I've had a few

I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too

I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf

How can you love me when you don't love yourself

It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win

The world fought back, punished me for my sins

And they tried to warn me of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear what they had to say

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong

I was wrong

I grew up fast, I grew up hard

Something was wrong from the very start

I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything

But the only one that I hurt was me

I got society's blood running down my face

Somebody help me get outta this place

How could someone's bad luck last so long

Until I realized rhat I was wrong

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong
