What Went Wrong - The Slackers

Give me a minute to compose myself, it’s been

Long, long time since you been gone

I can still remember conversations we had

To bad that’s all that now lingers on

So many times I nearly fooled myself that some…

Body like you could give a damn about me

But then one day you stepped into my life,

All my strife was a fleeting memory

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)

Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)

To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)

Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me by…

Bearing my life I somehow steered you wrong

From the road once again was driving us away

I pushed aside the things that meant so much with hope

That you’d be happy some day

I wear regret now like the lines on my face

Not a day passes on when you don’t cross my mind (You don’t cross my mind…)

Couldn’t raise the spirits of the broken hearted

Chance presents itself what’d you do in kind

Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me…

But then one day I gathered up the nerve

To trek on all these ways I thought not to cross

In for this pain that flow deep down inside

That still has the dreams that always know loss

Upon the threshold I now made my ascent

Towards the door I sure closed on one careless day (On one careless day…)

Written on a ledger (???) revealed

That your name, long gone, it faded away

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrong…)

Didn’t lose the battle, didn’t give up the fight (What went wrong…)

To let you go then didn’t make things right (What went wrong…)

What went wrong…

Can’t hide the tears from my eyes now that love’s gone and passed me…

Love’s gone

Love’s gone

Love’s gone

Now that love’s gone and passed me by…
