When I'm Wrong

Who's going to hear my confession if you're not awake for this call? I used to be able to take on the world alone I used to pride myself on having no allegiance at all But I was mining myself I was mining myself for too long Now I'm wondering where my resources have gone When I'm wrong I am wrong And in the language of these cities I can hear all the same themes All the young and talented indentured to their dreams I used to promise we'd never fall victim to those schemes But now I wonder was I right to fight with the stream? You said Maybe you'll get what you want Maybe not when you want it Maybe there isn't a breakthrough you can time When I'm wrong I am wrong When I'm wrong Well maybe I believe my detractors Count myself among the damned But tonight I am their man Pretending that I understand 'Cause I understand, understand, understand, understand, understand How the loneliness is veiled Underneath the thinnest plans Because I've tried to disguise this every way that I can You said Maybe you'll get what you want Maybe not when you want it Maybe at some great cost Maybe you won't recognise it (oh) When I'm wrong I am wrong When I'm wrong Trust you to know
