The Wrong Way Songtext
von Hannah Cameron

I′ve been meaning for months now to tell you
All the things that I know I should say
But to bring it up now will seem petty
And I know that you'll take it the wrong way
I can hear it before you′ve said it
You'll say "I didn't mean it like that"
As I′m telling you you hurt my feelings
You′ll tell me not to overreact
But I have known you better than you've known yourself
And if you cannot listen to me, how am I to help?


All the years that I spent second guessing
Every word that I wanted to say
Seeking out your approval and blessing
Hoping you wouldn′t take it the wrong way
But I have known you better than you've known yourself
And if you cannot listen to me, how am I to help?

I am not your mother, I don′t hold a stake
In your happiness anymore
You can leave or take every word that I say
But in forgetting history man is condemned
To repeat his mistakes

So I'm sitting here writing a letter
With all the words that I know I should say to your face
Writing knowing that I′ll never send it
It's not worth having you take it the wrong way
