I think the line is: "I was told, I was WARNED" not "I was wrong"... but this is one of my favorite songs ever... it almost makes me cry every time i hear it. I can't decide if this is about someone close to him dying or Jesus... it could go either way, but maybe that's what he meant by it - maybe it's supposed to be ambiguous.
