I was wrong Lyrics

I was wrong to say
I wouldn't change a thing cause
In the story of our lives
The best of times
Through colour glass

And if you should call
It's no trouble, no trouble at all
I'll paint out the sun
Back where we begun again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about a friendship ending in a fight and they are apoligizing to each other. The part where it says "I was wrong to say I wouldn't change a thing" like saying they would never be friends again. The part about colored glass... I think she is saying like she was happy. Seeing colors while the friendship lasted. "And if you should call, there will be no trouble, no trouble at all" Like saying if he apoligized or talked to her about it it would be fine. "I'll paint out the sun, like where we begun again." I'm not real sure about that line. Maybe she is saying she wants things the way they used to be.

Throughout the song you can hear ambient police sirens, which might contribute to the fact that something is wrong and she's trying to fix it.
