lyrics

So I’m wrong, you tell me for how long.
I have heard your lines for a hundred times.
Better take back those ugly things you’ve said,
'cause I don’t really think that you've meant it.

A loud mouth, try to whisper but you shout.
Still surprised when they turnaround.
Sometimes you can make them really mad
though I know that you don’t really mean it.

You can have some but one at a time.
I will let you know when I’ll find some.
Then you can have what’s leftover of mine,
'cause I don’t think I really mind.

Summerset breeze it took too long to please,
yourself or anyone else.
A big mistake, you tought that they would take
all your pretty lies for some good advice.

Cheek to cheek, dirty black broken teeth.
Turn a blind eye, Mr Wise Guy.
All day long, you tell them they do wrong,
but they have heard your lines a thousand times.

You can have some but one at a time.
I will let you know when I’ll find some.
Then you can have what’s leftover of mine,
'cause I don’t think I really mind.

You never said I was walking the wrong way.
Why have you never told me,
that I was walking the wrong way?
Why have you never told me?
