MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - Everything Wrong lyrics

rate me

I do most everything wrong,

Even when the holiday went on

My responses was lined and sheeted

And I turn my cheek and reason

I change my tone everyday

There is one thing I want you to be

That is smarter than me

It feels they don’t seem right

Open your wings and set flight

Don’t sit around to watch the pieces fall

I don’t want you to feel I’m wrong

But you probably will when you’re lonely

I will try to stay alive, to see as much through your eyes

But one day you know I will go old, whoa

Don’t listen too much to what I say

Making sense is never in my way

I can teach you 1,2,3, I can dance with you on repeat

I can hold your hand forever, on and on and on and on

I can do so much but you can do so much more

I am only a stepping stone

For you to get when you must go

And there is nothing I would rather be

So put your weight on me, na na na na, oh

I am your protection, I am not your pretender

I will try, I will not lie, I will not cry too much in front of you

I have been really innocent

Except for heaven, you with your bell.
