Going Wrong - Down By Law

I’ve been thinking of the things you said to me

And I don’t know if I can be what you wanted me to be

I’m sorry if I failed, I’m sorry that I tried

It’s a wound but now it’s cut and dried

And I don’t know what it’s gonna be

All the illusions and dishonesty

A broken record -- the same old song

Everything is going wrong

We only have the time to make so many mistakes

One try to keep it real -- better than a hundred that are fake

A candle in the wind gets snuffed before it glows

I’m the candle, you’re the wind -- so go ahead and blow

And I don’t know what it’s gonna be

Every wrong answer all I ever see

A broken record -- the same old song

Everything is going wrong

And I don’t know what it’s gonna be

Drowning in a sea of dishonesty

This is your story -- this is your song

«Come as you are» but come along

Totalitarian mentality

I tried it on but that’s not me

Expectations -- I failed to measure up

Here’s the poison -- would you like a cup?

Your perfect world was going strong

Your perfect world is going wrong
