If I Was Right

I saw it coming from a mile ago
A flash of lightning on a winding road
Wait 'til I'm paralyzed, then pull me close
And tell me something I don't wanna know

Soft as a whisper and sharp as a knife
The brightest emotion made both of us blind
I carved out a picture of you in my mind
The pain washed away but the scars survive

You betrayed the trust
You're ashamed of us
If I was right
I can close my eyes

You thought I hit you with a cannonball
And that heart of stone must've been hard to fall
But when the hurricane had conquered all
I heard you crying through a crumbled wall

Soft as a whisper and sharp as a knife
The brightest emotion made both of us blind
I carved out a picture of you in my mind
The pain washed away but the scars survive

You betrayed the trust
You're ashamed of us
If I was right
I can close my eyes

You betrayed the trust (soft as a whisper and sharp as a knife)
You're ashamed of us (the brightest emotion made both of us blind)
If I was right (I carved out a picture of you in my mind)
I can close my eyes (the pain washed away but the scars survive)
