One Foot Wrong
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or are these tears on my face?
Should I be hungry?
I can't remember the last time that I ate
Call someone, I need a friend to talk me down
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
Does anyone see this?
Lucky me, I guess I'm the chosen one
Color and madness
First in line I put my money down
Some freedom is the tiniest cell in town
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
Some people find the beauty in all of this
I go straight to the dark side near this
If it's it bad is it always my fault?
Did somebody bring me down?
Did somebody bring me down?
Did somebody bring me down?
One foot wrong, I'm gonna fall
Put one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Put one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
Just one foot wrong and I'm fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll love me when I'm gone
Have to love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone
You'll have to love me when I'm gone, yeah
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
