[Verse 1]
I'll tell you what went wrong
I spent my days planning a future when I couldn't see in front of me
I'll tell you what went wrong
I had a great imagination but I couldn't grasp reality
I'll tell you what went wrong
I couldn't stop myself from reaching for a better life for you and me
I'll tell you what went wrong
I couldn't give myself completely 'cause the music wouldn't let me be

[Chorus]
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on

[Verse 2]
I'll tell you what went wrong
Although we complemented one another, we were made so differently
I'll tell you what went wrong
We were two broken pieces thrown together hoping we might be complete
I'll tell you what went wrong
I didn't have the tools to fix ya' any more than you had been for me

[Chorus]
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on
[Bridge]
You didn't mean any harm and I know that
Believe me, nor did I
We tore each other apart and I'm sorry
For every tear I made you cry
And I know I'll see you again on a bright day
Can we wash away all of the pain?

[Chorus]
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on
Darling, tell me what's the story
Darling, tell me what went wrong
Darling, what's upon you shoulders?
Darling, just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
