I Had It Wrong Lyrics

Where do you go when all the cards are stacked against you?

Old faces, different names, pretending they don't know you

It's not fair, September never felt so unforgiving

Had I known the truth - was every sign just so forbidding?

Heartbreak at twenty three brought self discovery

Found out what's left to believe through my insecurity

Hindsight's irrelevant, the past can keep her misery

This isn't for you - I wrote this to tell myself

I had it wrong - trust me, I know

It is not for the best

I thought that I knew but I made my mistakes and I can't take them back

My pride's on the floor, I don't want it back

It's not you I miss, it's my innocence

So keep my name off your tongue, don't reminisce

I gave you all I could, fought for your greater good

Sleep in the bed that you made being the neighborhood whore

(This isn't for you, it's just to tell myself)

I had it wrong - trust me, I know

It is not for the best

I thought that I knew but I made my mistakes and I can't take them back

My pride's on the floor, I don't want it back

Well I tried my best to show you who I am and more

Two years, I hardly knew you like words washed right off the shore

You don't cross my mind at all know, I stopped believing in your ghost

Fate had its way, we moved from pillar to post

I had it wrong - trust me, I know

It is not for the best

I thought that I knew but I made my mistakes and I can't take them back

My pride's on the floor, I don't want it back
