I Was Wrong
Dani Corbalan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen love
Kick a man while he stand
When you think that you're alone
You cover it up
Just to stay on your feet
But the cut is just too deep

I was wrong
When I said "you were right"
Cause it's no fun
When everything is so nice

But I've been waiting too patiently
For life to turn it's back on me and
Not just go my way

All down the line
It's hard hard to believe
That we ever lived apart
Sometimes a girl can make you forget
We've been alone since the start

There's no fate
Like a healthy break
Now I've got
No heart left to ache

But I've been waiting too patiently
For life to turn it's back on me and
Not just go my way

'Cause everything was so perfect back then
I don't understand why
We can't let it stay that way

But I've been waiting too patiently




For life to turn it's back on me and
Not just go my way
