   Since We've Been Wrong

 

 

  Do you remember how you wore that dress?

  It slit my sight beneath the eyelids

  Do you remember what you said to me?

  What course has given you the right to stray?

  

  And in your living tomb I'm stuck but safe

  The clocks are ticking fast with every breath

  

  Since we've been wrong

  I've been part awake

  Since we've been wrong

  you will never, ever know me

  

  What took you so long?

  I'm not sure all the way

  But my heart, it asks just one more time

  Are you still a mess?

  

  One day a rain will come to wash away

  the earth that held us was no island

  I have become ingrown inside this skin

  I'll find a way out through those eyelids

  

  And all the days become a castaway

  I seem to think I don't belong here

  

  Since we've been wrong

  I've been part awake

  Since we've been wrong

  you will never, ever know me

   

  

  

  What took you so long?

  I'm not sure all the way

  But my heart, it asks just one more time

  Are you still a mess?

  

  I don't belong here, I shouldn't stay

  What falls inside me grows empty

  The walls between us will never break

  Just seal it shut, it grows empty

  

  Since we've been wrong

  I've been part awake

  Since we've been wrong

  you will never, ever know me

  

  What took you so long?

  I'm not sure all the way

  Since we've been wrong

  I've been part awake

  

  Since we've been wrong

  You will never, ever know me

  What took you so long?

  I'm not sure all the way

  

  But my heart, it asks just one more time

  Are you still a mess?
