When You're Wrong lyrics

"Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you used to say

But we don't keep in touch the way we used to nowadays

Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be

The light inside's grown dim and that's hard for me to see

The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire

The white stripe runnin' through your bangs a long twisted spire

You're sweepin' up the floods and you've been vacuumin' the fires

And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar

You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost

I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay

Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue

Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away

Strong enough to love you when you're wrong

Someone strong enough to love you when you're

Wrong

When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you

You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish I could too

But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away

Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay

You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost

I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay

Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue

Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away

Strong enough to love you when you're wrong

Someone strong enough to love you when you're

When you're wrong

Mm

You'll be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away

Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams through the haze

It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weight

Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days

Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong

Someone strong enough to love you when you're

Wrong

When you're wrong

Ooh-ooh

When you're wrong

Ooh, ooh
