I've Done Wrong
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember the day when I first hurt you
I'm still sorry for that, I want you back.
To me you're more than just a friend,
believe me when I say I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
Catch me when I fall, pick me up when I crawl.

I've done a lot wrong
but don't leave me alone
I can't move on

I'm acting so untypical,
once a dare devil, now an angel.
I changed my behaviour for you, my style, my hair, my clothes for you
is there anything else I should change just tell me.
I'm distressed, someone's missing in my life

I've done a lot wrong
but don't leave me alone
I can't move on

Dear honey
I hope you'll enjoy your new life
I hope you'll enjoy going out with your friends
cuz I hate my life now
I don't wanna go to sleep all alone
I still cry every night when I realize that you're gone
but I'm not mad, I understand you, I understand why you left me, no I don't, I just don't understand it
everyone makes mistakes and if you really love me you would have forgiven me, and granted me a second chance to make it all good.
I thought you where the love of my life
I thought you also wanna spend the rest of your life with me
I don't wanna lose you, I'm dead without you
I love you for real and forever
I don't want another person beside me, but you don't give a fuck, you don't care if I cry myself to sleep every night and I hate you for that.
I don't want you to be just my friend, I've got enough friends
my ideal world is ruined and you've ruined it so come back and rebuild it, you owe it to me

I've done a lot wrong
but don't leave me alone




I can't move on (2x)
I need you all along
