I've Been Wrong Before
Love's Deception: Elvis Costello's Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
The night we met
The night when we first encountered each other.
The night that I won't forget
A memorable night that is etched in my memory.
You've seen what I've been waiting for
You have witnessed my anticipation and longing.
But baby, I've been wrong before
Despite my feelings, I have made mistakes in the past.
You held me tight
You embraced me closely.
And everything seemed just right
During that moment, everything felt perfect.
I couldn't ask for more
I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
But baby, I've been wrong before
Nevertheless, I have made errors in judgment before.
She used to smile at me
Someone in the past used to express affection with smiles and gestures.
And hold my hand like you do
Similar to how you currently hold my hand.
Then she left me
That person departed from my life.
And broke my heart in two
Leaving me heartbroken and emotionally shattered.
See her face
Visualizing her face in contrast to your warm embrace.
And feel your warm embrace
Your affection is what I cherish the most.
You're all that I adore
You are the one I deeply admire.
But baby, I've been wrong before
Despite my current feelings, I acknowledge past mistakes.
Oh baby, I've been wrong before
Reiterating that I have made errors in judgment in previous relationships.
