I Was Wrong Lyrics
You say stay and never leave
You say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost all alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't
CHORUS
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other people
That's what they're for
CHORUS
[Repeat 1]
CHORUS
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other men
That's what they're for
CHORUS
You say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost all alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other people
That's what they're for
CHORUS
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other men
That's what they're for

I'd like to think of this song as an open letter from Eldritch to Tony James about how much of a twat he thought Neal X from Sigue Sigue Sputnik was, but it probably isn't.
:(
It seems like Eldritch has been cheated on a lot.

To me, this is the ultimate love song...
To me, this is the ultimate love song...
"You say stay and never leave", because you want us to stay together. But I broke it up "I could believe you but I won't", because I don't really believe you ("I know you wont"). But then I realize "I was wrong". I messed us up but I regret it, and now you've got a new man and "I can love my fellow man, but I'm damned if I'll love yours". So, now "I don't wanna talk this over". Once I loved you ("was quite impressed") but now I (tell myself I) no...

And "pain looks great on other people" but not on me... This is one of the songs that helped me make it through my separation some 8 years ago. That was a hard time, but this whole CD and especially this song, helped me hold myself together.
