Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember every moment that you found
The best way to say yes is to say no
When all you got to do is say it so
But when it's wrong, dead wrong
It's easy just too easy to deny
And never be the one to compromise
Tell me what you going to do
Cause when it's wrong it's wrong, dead wrong
Did you sell your soul from sleep cause that ain't right
Did you think your peace would last you through the night
Is it worth the time it takes to say hello
Tell me cause I really got to know
Cause when it's wrong it's wrong, dead wrong
