All the Wrong Things

I don’t blame you if you don’t believe me
Don’t believe I would believe it myself
I’m paying the price for trying to deceive you
I lost your trust and that’s all that counts
I cheated the system; but never betrayed you
I lied to your face to spare your heart
You wouldn’t believe the lengths that I went to
I bent every rule and broke a few laws
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
I’m not the monster you’ve come to expect
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
And all it cost me was my self-respect
Every morning I stare at the mirror
I look myself right in the eye
The fog has lifted; I see so much clearer
I must live with myself ‘till I die ‘cause
I cheated the system; but never betrayed you
I lied to your face to spare your heart
You wouldn’t believe the lengths that I went to
I bent every rule and broke a few laws
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
I’m not the monster you’ve come to expect
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
And all it cost me was my self-respect
No one deserves to be treated this way
Nobody should have to go through what you did
You’re my favorite person, tried to protect you
But I don’t expect you to ever forgive me for
All the wrong things and my the right reasons
I’m not the monster you’ve come to expect
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
And all it cost me was my self-respect
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
I did all the wrong things for all the right reasons
And all it cost me
All it cost me
All it cost me was my self-respect
