It's All Wrong

Life began with greater hopes
Then you found me lying on the floor
In a room painted black
With sheets over the windows
This is the hand that I've been dealt
And I can't change it any more
Than the Earth can change its course around the sun
Or the moon can change its color

I will walk along this road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is it's all wrong

I was told when I was young
That if I never did no wrong
That the Lord up in Heaven would make sure
I was never left alone
He's been waiting twenty years
For me to return
But it's hard to find a way back home
When every bridge I crossed has burned

I will walk along my road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is it's all wrong

Another bottle in a bag
Another night under the stars
When my past comes back to me
I stick a needle in my arm
There's a pain I can't forget
It took me far from my home
I'll fall asleep beside the fire
It keeps me warm when I'm alone

I will walk along this road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is I'm all wrong
