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 that I'd win

The world fought back,

Punished me for my sins



I felt so alone,

So insecure,

I blamed you instead

And 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 realized now that I was wrong



And I think about my loves,

Well I've had a few

I'm sorry that I hurt them,

Did I hurt you too



I took what I wanted,

Put my heart on the shelf

How can you love me

When you don't love yourself



It was me against the world,

I was sure that I'd win

The world fought back,

Punished me for my sins



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 realized now that I was wrong

I was wrong (2x)



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



I got society's blood

Running down my face

Somebody help me

Get outta 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 realized now that I was wrong
