[Verse 1]

Well, 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 I would win

But the world fought back, punished me for my sins

[Verse 2]

Well, I felt so alone, so insecure

But I blamed you instead, made sure I was heard

And they tried to warn me of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear what they had to say

[Chorus]

I was wrong

Self-destruction's got me again

I was wrong

I realize now that I was wrong

[Verse 3]

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?

Well, I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf

But how can you love when you don't love yourself?

[Verse 4]

It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win

But the world fought back, punished me for my sins

And they tried to warn me of my evil way

But I couldn't hear what they had to say

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 5]

Well, I grew up fast, 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

[Verse 6]

I got society's blood running down my face

Somebody help me get out of this place

How could someone's bad luck last so long

Until I realized that I was wrong

[Chorus]

I was wrong

Self-destruction's got me again

I was wrong

I realize now that I was wrong

[Chorus]

I was wrong

Self-destruction's got me again

I was wrong

The only one that I hurt was me

I was wrong
