Damien Rice
What If I’m Wrong
[Verse]
I could wrestle with tomorrow
Till tomorrow's in the past
Cause I have torn apart what's beautiful
To prove that nothing lasts
I have stayed locked behind this door
To show there's no way out
I got lost within the space between
The question and the doubt
On an ordinary day
In an ordinary way
I have combed the cracks of virtue
For a place to lay the blame
And I have hated, I have lied
Been guilty and denied
I've dismissed the ones who question me
Declaring I am right
[Chorus]
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm wrong?
[Verse]
I have built a wall between what I
Believed and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I had
For power over you
I have convicted those who disagree
And walked over the weak
I have placed a gun within the mouth
Of those who dare to speak
On an ordinary day
In an ordinary way
I have crushed the minds of children
With extraordinary shame
And I have carried on this war
Though no one wins an endless fight
I have claimed that God has guided me
And killed to prove I'm right
[Chorus]
But what if I'm wrong?
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm wrong?
[Bridge]
Is this soul worth saving at all?
Cause if I lose my wings then surely I must fall
And God'll faint
Fall insane
[Outro]
We could wrestle with tomorrow
Till tomorrow's in the past
We could tear apart what's beautiful
To prove that nothing lasts
What if they're wrong
