lyrics

I never did any wrong on purpose
Never took advantage or manipulated
If I did, it was an accident
Never with any malice or ill intent
You ignore my calls and I know it
So I don't try it anymore
I gave up on that a long time ago

I never put into words that feeling
Fireworks in the rain from the train tracks thinking
"Is my judgement that far off?
Could I not see my thinking for what it was?"
Still, when I look back on what happened
I don't feel sad anymore
I decided that a long time ago

And I don't mind being wrong
As long as you know I know I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong

I've cut ties and I've tied loose ends
Gonna turn these weaknesses into my strengths
I'm gradually working my way up
I'll make something of all of this freedom I've got
But if I told everyone about it
I wouldn't have to try anymore
I discovered that a long time ago

'Cause I don't mind being wrong
As long as you're watching me be wrong
I know I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong
I know I'm wrong

Dissect
Your main-character complex
Turns everything into a contest
And it all comes across disingenuous
Sometimes it's easier to care than to pretend to
Learn your limitations and stick to them
Soon enough you'll make friends that don't resent you
Stick by them, do the same things they do
And you'll do fine

We'll catch better waves
Wash away events of late
And this time I won't
Get in your way
