I've Been Wrong Before

(Album: Reader As Detective - 2019)

I was around when the bridge got burned
I take a lesson but I never learn
And I walk my way
And I don't look back

And they say it's not that bad man
But I think I'm running out of ways to believe that

So I took apart my television
I'd come to think I need a bigger one
When I look back now
Had we lost our heads
You could tell I'm slipping backwards
By the way I could not understand what the man said

You were never there
When I was a beaten broken person
Knocking at your door
I took you for a better friend
But I've been wrong before

I recommend what the old man said
You gotta do it if you wanna get ahead
But if you wanna get a heart you got to give yours to me
I think I'm slipping backwards
So you can't tell me to be there if you won't be

You were never there
When I was a beaten broken person
Knocking at your door
I took you for a better friend
But I've been wrong
No, I've been wrong before
