How Could I Have Been So Wrong?

from How Could I Have Been So Wrong? by Emma Hill

lyrics

She was a girl, a friend of mine, a waitress on the weekend, almost lovers, kindred spirits
She grew up poor, so when the money came she lost her shit she couldn’t wait to go and spend it
When the rest of us were wasting time naked in bed, she shrugged it off and said she couldn’.
Who really knows how deep it went, how near she was to drowning in her well of secrets

Now I see the hurt you had, hurt you had honey
I wish I’d seen it all along
Looking back on those times, the days we were together
How could I have been so wrong?

Over the years I drowned myself with cheap booze and bad sex, I guess I thought I needed
A sweet escape, a minor phase, a slip in my success except that no one ever noticed
But I could have been a cautionary tale, a sick cliche, just the way of drunk musicians
No one likes to admit that talent lends itself to the souls of those with mental illness

Now I see the hurt I had, hurt I had honey
Guess I’d seen it all along
I tried to hide, I masked it into melody
I tied it up into a song

I’d take it back, I’d take it all back if I could take it back

‘Cause now I see the hurt we had, hurt we had honey
I wish I’d seen it all along
Looking back on those times, the days we were together
How could I have been so wrong?
