I Was Wrong
Love's Redemption: Rhett Akins' Soulful Admission in 'I Was Wrong'
Lyrics
Well I know it's late but girl I just had to call
The singer acknowledges it's late but feels compelled to reach out.
This just can't wait 'cause I ain't slept a wink at all
Expressing urgency, unable to sleep since the breakup.
Since we said goodbye
Reflecting on the pain caused by the separation.
And I know that I'm the only one to blame
Taking responsibility for the relationship ending.
I thought we were right to turn and go our separate ways
Initially thought parting ways was right but now regrets it.
But I know tonight that I can't stand another day
Realizing the unbearable nature of loneliness.
Of being alone, tryin' to hang on
Struggling to cope alone and hold on.
And I can't take no more of this pain
Experiencing intense emotional pain.
I was wrong to let you go
Admitting fault for letting the partner go.
And now that you're gone
Recognizing the partner's absence affecting life negatively.
My life's out of control
Feeling a loss of control and stability in life.
I was wrong you told me from the start
Acknowledging being warned about the consequences.
I'd never find truer love
Being told that true love was present in the relationship.
Than the love in your heart
Recognizing the strength and depth of the love shared.
Love so strong you were right I was wrong
Acknowledging the correctness of the partner's perspective.
Girl could you find a way to give us one more chance
Pleading for another chance to reconcile.
A day at a time maybe that's too much to ask
Recognizing that even asking for a chance might be too much.
But you're all I 've got and believe it or not
Expressing the sole reliance on the partner.
Without you I know I can't go on
Admitting inability to move forward without the partner.
I was wrong to let you go
Regretting the decision to let go.
And now that you're gone
Reiterating the negative impact of the partner's absence.
My life's out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and disoriented without the partner.
I was wrong you told me from the start
Recalling the partner's initial warning about love.
I'd never find truer love
Being reminded of the presence of genuine love.
Than the love in your heart
Recognizing the profound love that was present.
Love so strong you were right I was wrong
Acknowledging the partner's correctness about the love.
I was wrong you told me from the start
Reiterating the partner's initial warning.
I'd never find truer love
Reaffirming the presence of true love as warned by the partner.
Than the love in your heart
Highlighting the depth and authenticity of the love.
Love so strong you were right I was wrong
Admitting the partner's correctness about the love.
I was wrong
Conceding to the mistake of letting the relationship end.
Oh I was wrong
Final acknowledgment of personal fault.
