I Was Wrong
The Oh Hellos Lyrics

I was born at the hands of the potter
I was created by someone greater than myself

And i was torn from the start
But I was also imperfect from the very beginning

I was torn between my god and my father
I struggled to reconcile my religious beliefs with my earthly family

I was born at the dawn of our folly
I came into existence during a time of great mistake and error

And i was young, and stubborn to the bone
I was inexperienced and foolish, unwilling to be moved from my ways

As i took from the tree that was rotting
I made a bad decision, choosing to take something that would ultimately harm me

I took my chance and bit down deep
I knowingly embraced the wrong path, even though it would lead to ruin

The weight of the world was crippling
The consequences of my actions were severe and difficult to bear

Now i'll hide my shame with woven leaves
In my shame and guilt, I will try to cover up my wrongdoing

I was wrong
I admit to my mistake and take responsibility for it

And i'm so, so sorry
I am genuinely remorseful for the harm that I caused

I knew you'd never forgive me
I understand that my actions have caused lasting damage to my relationships

But i was wrong
I acknowledge my error, even though it may be too late for amends

And i'm so, so sorry
I sincerely regret the choices that I made
