  • "Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you used to say
    But we don't keep in touch the way we used to nowadays
    Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be
    The light inside's grown dim and that's hard for me to see

    The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire
    The white stripe runnin' through your bangs a long twisted spire
    You're sweepin' up the floods and you've been vacuumin' the fires
    And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar

    You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost
    I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay
    Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue
    Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away
    Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
    Someone strong enough to love you when you're
    Wrong

    When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you
    You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish I could too
    But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away
    Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay

    You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost
    I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay
    Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue
    Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away
    Strong enough to love you when you're wrong
    Someone strong enough to love you when you're
    When you're wrong
    Mm

    You'll be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away
    Like dew drops in the dawn, like sunbeams through the haze
    It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weights
    Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days

    Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong
    Someone strong enough to love you when you're
    Wrong
    When you're wrong

    Ooh-ooh
    When you're wrong
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh-ooh Writer/s: Brandi Marie Carlile, Phillip John Hanseroth, Timothy Jay Hanseroth
