When You're Wrong

"Don't go borrowing trouble"
 That's what you used to say
 But we don't keep in touch
 The way we used to nowadays
 Your eyes are not as bright
 As I remember them to be
 The light inside's grown dim
 And that's hard for me to see
 The creases on your forehead
 Run like treads on a tire
 The white stripe running through your bangs
 A long and twisted spire
 You're sweeping up the flies
 And you've been vacuuming the fires
 And you lay down every night
 Next to a goddamn liar
 You may be here today
 But tomorrow you're a ghost
 I guess the most someone can hope for
 Is to find a place to lay
 Someone to tell your secrets to
 When the nights get long and blue
 Someone strong enough to lean on
 When the roses fall away
 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
 Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong
 ♪
 When the day is winding down
 My heart abandons me for you
 You forgot yourself so long ago
 And I wish I could too
 But you live inside a quiet hell
 No one can pray away
 Leaving would be easy
 I understand why you won't stay
 You may be here today
 But tomorrow you're a ghost
 I guess the most someone can hope for
 Is to find a place to lay
 Someone to tell your secrets to
 When the nights get long and blue
 Someone strong enough to lean on
 When the roses fall away
 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
 Someone strong enough to love you when you're
 When you're wrong
 ♪
 You'll be wrong if you were thinking
 That we all don't fade away
 Like dew drops in the dawn
 Like sunbeams through the haze
 It's a long way to be sinking
 Holding tightly to the weights
 Of the one who pulls you down
 While you slowly waste your days
 Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong
 Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong
 When you're wrong
 Ooh-ooh...
 When you're wrong
 Ooh-ooh...
