Where Did Things Go So Wrong Lyrics

I thought you were someone special

As I looked across the way

I wondered what you were thinking

And I guessed the things you'd say

You seem straight from a fairy tale

Like Grimms or Mother Goose

I felt there was a lot for me to learn

From the words of Lenny Bruce

So I thought I would get to know you

And what you were all about

So you gave me the key to your world

To let me in, not lock me out

You'll never know how tough it was

To let you slip away

What else was there for me to do

When love just goes astray

And I thought that it was right

And I thought that it was real

So I put up a fight

Just to show you how it feels

Sometimes I felt weak

And sometimes I felt strong

But now that the smoke has cleared

Where did things go so wrong

I reached deep down inside myself

Until it got to tough

I gave you all I had to give

My love was not enough

For every time I reached for you

You looked and turned away

Confusion filled me up inside

What was left to say

And I thought that it was right

And I thought that it was real

So I put up a fight

Just to show you how it feels

Sometimes I felt weak

And sometimes I felt strong

But now that the smoke has cleared

Where did things go so wrong
