Verse 1:
When I was young I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger and held back the tears
It was me against the world and I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back punished me for my sins
I felt so alone so insecure
I blamed me instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say
Chorus 1:
I was wrong self destruction got me again
I was wrong I realise now that I was wrong
Verse 2:
And I think about my loves well I've had a few
I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted put my heart on the shelf
How can you love when you don't love yourself
It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say
Chorus 2:
I was wrong self destruction got me again
I was wrong I realise now that I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong

Well I grew up fast I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society's blood running down my face
Somebody help me get out of this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long
Until I realised that I was wrong
Solo: over verse progression.
Chorus 3:
I was wrong self destruction got me again
I was wrong I realise now that I was wrong
I was wrong self destruction got me again
I was wrong the only one that I hurt was me
I was wrong.====
