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...
