[Verse 1]

It is not about trying to change your mind

And it is not about the past you left behind

And how I cannot sleep because you meant so much

It's about your mind, what you're afraid to touch, oh-oh

What you're afraid to touch, oh-oh

Oh-oh


[Pre-Chorus 1]

If you don't get what you want

You don't want anyone with it too

There's more than one on this planet

And we know that as well as you


[Chorus]

You want to be right

You want to be right

You want to be right


[Verse 2]

'Cause when you say goodbye to a friend you left

It shouldn't hurt to cry about the times you shared

So when you close your eyes and see a giant mirror

Try to tell yourself, "I wish you were here", oh-oh


[Bridge]

And I'm fallin' short of my own reflection

And I'm fallin' down in the wrong direction

You could save yourself if you could listen to someone else

But as for me, I won't be comin' back to Hell


[Pre-Chorus 2]

You admit you had issues with your pride

And you think that's reason enough to let it swallow you up inside

How can you sleep knowing so much of yourself is built upon lies?

You won't see the truth, but you could see it too if you'd open your eyes


[Chorus]

You want to be right

You want to be right

You want to be right


[Verse 3]

'Cause you don't wanna hear when you've done something wrong

You just plug your ears and try to play along

But no one likes a cheat and you like no one

You've been on your turn for far too long, oh-oh


[Bridge]

And I'm fallin' short of my own reflection

And I'm fallin' down in the wrong direction

You could save yourself if you could listen to someone else

But as for me, I won't be comin' back to Hell

Yeah, that's right, I won't be comin' back to Hell


[Verse 4]

And I won't shut my mouth until I shut my head

And you won't scare me out of all the goals I've set

And after time to think, I think I'm better now

I can climb without someone to drag me down, oh-oh

You drag me down, oh-oh


[Outro]

You drag me down

You drag me down

Ho-oh
