Wrong Place, Wrong Time
You promised to support me,
protect me and respect me.
but truthfully the opposite
Is all that you ever gave me
I can’t do it all alone
plus keep the fires lit
Then hear all your grief
when I let something slip.
I give and I give
but never receive
There’s much more to love
than just loving me
Sick of saying I’m sorry
For things I haven’t done
Just to keep the peace
So you feel that you’ve won.
I have to hear every detail
of your do-nothing life
When do you ever take time
to ask anything about mine.
You knock me down
every chance you get
If I really am that bad
Then why haven’t you left?
I’m stupid and worthless
that’s how I've always felt.
That’s just how you work it
and you do your job so well.
They say payback’s a *****
So I'll make her mine
When I see a chance I’ll take it
and leave your ass behind
I was in the wrong place
at the wrong time
the day that I met you.
Wrong place, wrong time
there’s nothing’s left of me
so there’s nothing left to do.
