Wrong About Me
lyric

[Verse 1]
You looked me in the eye and said it wasn't true
A practiced little smile, like I should trust you
I let the quiet settle where the answer should have been
Now every careful promise has a crack running through it
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we had a place
Where neither had to hide
I gave you every reason
To tell me what was right
[Chorus]
You lied straight to my face
With that smile of assurance
I thought we were built on trust
I thought we could be certain
Now I’m standing in the truth
That you kept just out of reach
I guess I was wrong about us
And what you meant to me
[Verse 2]
The little things you told me don’t fit the way they did
I keep replaying details I was willing to forgive
I wasn’t asking for perfection, just the honest thing
But you turned a simple question into something I believed
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we had a place
Where neither had to hide
I gave you every reason
To tell me what was right
[Chorus]
You lied straight to my face
With that smile of assurance
I thought we were built on trust
I thought we could be certain
Now I’m standing in the truth
That you kept just out of reach
I guess I was wrong about us
And what you meant to me
[Bridge]
Maybe I held on to the best of what I knew
Maybe you were counting on me not to question you
But I won’t keep making excuses for the hurt
You can keep your easy smile
I know what it was worth
[Final Chorus]
You lied straight to my face
With that smile of assurance
I thought we were built on trust
I thought we could be certain
Now I’m standing in the truth
And I can finally see
I guess I was wrong about us
But I won’t be wrong about me
[Outro]
I won’t be wrong about me
