When I look back
That's when I see everything was wrong
And you looked sad
That's when I said I'd write you a song

Everybody's got their reasons
Everybody's got their ghosts to fear
When I look back

All I see is I've done something wrong, wrong
All I see is I've done something wrong, wrong
All I see is I've done something wrong

Oh my dear, my tis of thee
What a tangled web we weave
Everyone is the one until the one falls down
Then we're all just please, please, please

The painted rust will only
Fool the fools for just so long
Eventually

That's when they'll see everything was wrong, wrong
That's when they'll see everything was wrong, wrong
That's when they'll see everything was wrong

So here's to the boys who fight all the wars
You will never fight for yourself
And you can ignore whoever you want to
But in the end

Oh, the shame, humility
What a wicked gang are we
Like a liar looking down on a thief
Looking down on a killer, looking down on a creep

Oh, this sinking ship will only
Hold its course for just so long
Eventually

That's when they'll see everything is wrong, wrong
That's when they'll see everything is wrong, wrong
That's when they'll see everything is wrong
