Who's gonna hear my confession?

If you're not awake for this call

I used to be able to take on the world alone

I used to pride myself on having no allegiance at all

But I was mining myself, I was mining myself for too long

Now I'm wondering where my resources have gone

When I'm wrong

I am wrong

And in the language of these cities

I can hear all the same themes

All the young and talented indentured to their dreams

I used to promise we'd never fall victim to those schemes

But now I wonder was I right to fight with the stream?

You said, "Maybe you'll get what you want

Maybe not when you want it

Maybe there isn't a breakthrough you can't hide"

When I'm wrong

I am wrong

When I'm wrong

Well, maybe I believe my detractors

Count myself among the damned

But tonight I am their man pretending that I understand

'Cause I understand, understand, understand, understand, understand

How the loneliness is veiled underneath the thinnest of plans

Because I've tried to disguise this every way that I can

You said, "Maybe you'll get what you want

Maybe not when you want it

Maybe at some great cost

Maybe you won't recognize it all"

When I'm wrong

I am wrong

When I'm wrong

Trust you to know
