The Wrong Right — Lyrics

Original English lyrics

​Left the skyline, left the Spree
Looking for the man I was meant to be
Tired of the chase, tired of the light
So I chose the “average” to get it right
I picked a shadow, thought she was safe
But I let a demon take her place
I ignored the cracks, I missed the signs
Tracing life in broken lines

​I wanted to do it right, but I did the wrong thing
I traded my soul for the hell you bring
I reached for an anchor, it tightened the chain
I prayed for the calm but inherited rain
I wanted to do it right, but I did the wrong thing
Yeah, I'm the one who pulled the string

​She had no ocean, just an empty well
I kept diving down but I couldn't tell
Lazy heart and an ego of stone
I was building a house all on my own
Then came the news, the lock, the cage
A permanent mark on a temporary page
Pregnant and trapped, the air turned cold
Doing exactly what I was told

​I wanted to do it right, but I did the wrong thing
I traded my soul for the hell you bring
I reached for an anchor, it tightened the chain
I prayed for the calm but inherited rain

​Double shifts, sixteen hours on the clock
Anything to stay from the door and the lock
Working to breathe, working to hide
While every bit of sympathy withered and died
I see the child, she's the only truth
In the wreckage of my wasted youth
My heart turned iron, my hands turned bone
Built a life that never felt like home

​The walls are closing, I'm losing my breath
This “normal” life is a living death
I'm packing the pieces, I'm drawing the line
I'll stay for the girl, but you're no longer mine
You're poison pretending the world is to blame
While I stand guard and I carry the name
You're just a ghost, a shadow I knew
The worst right thing I had to do

​I wanted to do it right, but I did the wrong thing
I traded my soul for the hell you bring
I reached for an anchor, it tightened the chain
I prayed for the calm but inherited rain
I wanted to do it right, but I did the wrong thing

​I'm walking away
I'm staying close
To the heartbeat that matters most
I did the wrong thing
But she won't pay
