Am I Wrong
Nash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I might as well be in a prison cell doing time
Wasting away suffering for my crimes
I put us through hell and I can't find my way out
Now my conscience is thinking out loud
I can't outrun the wrongs I didn't right
They chase me down in the middle of the night
I wake up choking on my pride
No matter how hard I try
I can't outrun
The wrongs I didn't right
It cuts deep every time I see you with him
Pushing you away has been my sharpest sin
It took me a while to grow up
I'm sorry that my mistakes hurt you so much
I can't outrun the wrongs I didn't right
They chase me down in the middle of the night
I wake up choking on my pride
No matter how hard I try
I can't outrun
The wrongs I didn't right
When I think I'm over you
The regrets catch up with me again
I'm not exactly sure how to make amends
But if you give me one last chance
I'll try like hell
I'll try like hell
I can't outrun the wrongs I didn't right
They chase me down in the middle of the night
I wake up choking on my pride
No matter how hard I try
I can't outrun
The wrongs I didn't right
I can't outrun
The wrongs I didn't right




I can't outrun
The wrongs I didn't right
