Les paroles de la chanson
« What if i'm wrong »
Damien Rice
We could wrestle with tomorrow
Till tomorrow’s in the past
Because 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
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
I have built a wall between
What I believe and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I had
For power over you
I have deflected 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 is guiding me
And killed to prove I’m right
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
Is this soul worth saving at all?
Cos’ if I lose my wings then surely I must fall
And God’ll faint, fall insane
We could wrestle with tomorrow
Till tomorrow’s in the past
We could tear apart what’s beautiful
To prove that nothing lasts
We could stay locked behind the doors
To show there’s no way out
We got lost within the space between
The question and the doubt
What if we’re wrong
Till tomorrow’s in the past
Because 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
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
I have built a wall between
What I believe and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I had
For power over you
I have deflected 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 is guiding me
And killed to prove I’m right
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m wrong
Is this soul worth saving at all?
Cos’ if I lose my wings then surely I must fall
And God’ll faint, fall insane
We could wrestle with tomorrow
Till tomorrow’s in the past
We could tear apart what’s beautiful
To prove that nothing lasts
We could stay locked behind the doors
To show there’s no way out
We got lost within the space between
The question and the doubt
What if we’re wrong
