Right or Wrong
Read Southall Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one ever told you that you weren't good enough. No one ran your name through that mud. If you had half the mind to do something, you'd get a grip and then you'd stand up. People are dying just to feel a little something, you can't keep it all to yourselves, there's a reason for what you're feeling. Go out there and then you give them hell.

Find whatever answers you're after. Hold onto the truth you've always known. If you don't know by now then you may never. It ain't black and white it's right or wrong.

Well you should have known that you were no different. We're all burning at both ends and we're so god damn uncomfortable sitting in our own skin. Well these questions cloud my mind. Sometimes I cant even sleep, I can't rest or much less function, when I need to move my feet.

Find whatever answers you're after. Hold onto the truth you've always known. If you don't know by now then you may never. It ain't black and white it's right or wrong.
If you don't know by now
Then you may never

If you don't know by now
Then you may never





Find whatever answers you're after. Hold onto the truth you've always known. If you don't know by now then you may never. It ain't black and white it's right or wrong.
