  • Down to be wrong
    Don't need to be right
    I left you the keys
    I left on the lights
    I locked myself out
    Of the house
    I'm on the next flight
    You can't talk me out of it, yeah

    From the window seat
    I can see the street
    Where we used to sleep
    It was all dream
    You thought I would fall
    Back in your arms
    But I lost my heart
    And the future's gone with it

    Oh, I bet you wish it could be easy
    To change my mind
    Oh, I bet you wish it could be easy
    But it's not this time

    I ain't coming back
    I ain't coming down
    I was so high last night
    I thought, "Burn it to the ground"
    You never helped me
    It was like hell for me
    But you're the greatest pretender
    So just keep pretending
    Just keep pretending

    Oh, I bet you wish it could be easy
    To change my mind
    Oh, I bet you wish it could be easy
    But it's not this time

    Boy, I crushed my whole heart
    Trying to fit my soul into your arms
    And I crushed up these pills
    And I still couldn't take 'em
    I still couldn't take 'em

    I bet you wish it could be easy
    To change my mind
    I bet you wish it could be easy
    But it's not this time
    Oh, did you think it would keep me busy
    Holding the line?
    Oh, I didn't think it would be so easy
    'Til I left it behind

    Down to be wrong
    Don't need to be right
    Down to be wrong
    Don't need to be right
    Down to be wrong (this train won't turn around)
    Don't need to be right (the light's cutting through the clouds)
    Down to be wrong (my feet are on the ground)
    Don't need to be right (and I keep walking)
    Down to be wrong (don't need you to understand)
    Don't need to be right (I don't know if you can)
    Down to be wrong (red lights are up ahead)
    Don't need to be right (but I'll keep walking)
    Down to be wrong
    Don't need to be right
