Oh, when I was young
I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world
I was sure that I’d win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone
So insecure
I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I wouldn’t hear what they had to say
I was wrong
Self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves
Well, I’ve had a few
Well, I’m sorry that I hurt them
Did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted
Put my heart on the shelf
But how can you love me when you don’t love yourself?
It was me against the world
I was sure that I’d win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I couldn’t hear what they had to say

I was wrong
Self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong, yeah
I was wrong

I grew up fast
And I grew up hard
Something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody
I was fighting everything
But the only one that I hurt was me
I got society’s blood running down my face
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone’s bad luck last so long?
Until I realized that I was wrong

I was wrong
Self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong
Self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong
The only moment that I was me
I was wrong
