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

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

I was wrong,
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong,
I realized now that I was wrong
I was wrong

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 rhat I was wrong

I was wrong,
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong,
I realized now that I was wrong
