Song: I Was Wrong
Everytime when i see you again
I look into your eyes
when i softly speak your name
it was cold as ice
no i didn't know how to tell you how i feel
that you must hear
Chorus:
i was wrong to tell you goodbye
i was wrong your still on my mind
and i really need you back again
just like the flower needs the rain
Whenever i be without you
Another day ends
so what am i gonna do
my life is in your hands
no you didn't tell me how you feel
these simple words i long to hear
i long to hear
Repeat chorus
i was wrong
i was wrong
and i need
yes i need you
no words can ever say
Repeat chorus
The lyrics of Princessa's song, "I Was Wrong," express regret and longing for someone who the person singing has let go. The singer describes how every time she sees this person, she looks into their eyes and remembers the times they had together. However, something happened that made her say goodbye to this person, and now she realizes it was a mistake to let them go. The chorus repeats that sentiment, with the person singing admitting that they were wrong and that they need the other person back in their life. While the pain of separation is evident in the lines, "my life is in your hands," the lyrics speak to hope, as the singer compares their need for the other person to the way that flowers need rain.
The song is a classic embodiment of regret that anyone who has let someone special go can relate to. The opening lines create an image of seeing someone again after a break-up and the intense feelings that come with that. The song also explores the difficulty that some people have in expressing their emotions: "no, I didn't know how to tell you how I feel/ These simple words that you must hear." This inability to communicate effectively may have contributed to the break-up, which makes the regret even more poignant. Ultimately, the chorus repeats the title phrase, admitting to a mistake and the need to make amends.
