I Was Wrong - The Sisters of Mercy

You say stay and never leave

You say meant for ever

I could believe you, but I don’t

You say we’re almost

All alone together all alone

You say, you say you will

I know you won’t

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

I can love my fellow man

But I’m damned if I’ll love yours

In a bar that’s always closing

In a world where people shout

I don’t wanna talk this over

I don’t wanna talk it out

I was quite impressed until I hit the floor

But isn’t that what friends are for?

Pain looks great on other people

That’s what they’re for

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

Yeah, I can love my fellow man

But I’m damned if I’ll love yours

You say stay and never leave

You say meant for ever

I could believe you, but I don’t

You say we’re almost

All alone together all alone

Yeah, you say, you say you will

I know you won’t

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

Oh, I can get along without

Oh, I can love my fellow man

But I’m damned if I’ll love yours

In a bar that’s always closing

In a world where people shout

I don’t wanna talk this over

I don’t wanna talk it out

I was quite impressed until I hit the floor

Isn’t that what friends are for?

Pain looks great on other men

That’s what they’re for

I was wrong

I was wrong to ever doubt

I can get along without

Yes, I can love my fellow man

But I’m damned if I’ll love yours
