Social Distortion - I Was Wrong lyrics

rate me

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

But 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 when you don't love yourself?

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

But 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

Well 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 that I was wrong
