You Were Right

Another word this whole damn thing could end right here
Just one false move could seal your fate
Everything's riding on this one, yeah
There's way too much here at stake
An endless riddle that you'll never ever solve
And confrontation so afraid
Please be advised that your next words
Could be thrown right back in your face

You were right, you've opened my eyes, I can see it
You were right, now I'll admit I was wrong
If we could just get along tonight

All too familiar now we've both been here before
More times than I'd care to admit (to admit)
Been bent over backwards, turned inside out
So this time I'll try giving in (try not to give in)

My heart is pounding, tongue is tied
I'm all choked up
Can't even look you in the eye
No way to predict what you need to hear
So no reason left not to lie
Now darling

You were right, that's what I've been saying this whole time
You were right, now can we just get to bed
Forget all those things we said
Yeah you were right, I guess that I've known for a long time
You were right this time
Now I'll admit I was wrong, no need to go on and on

Time flies when you're having fun
But those long nights don't help anyone
Tied up in your petty schemes
Life's too damn short, let's get on with our dreams
Set sail and do as you wish
It's a free world with a sea full of fish
You're sweet but no longer sixteen
Better think twice before you sell us upstream

I'm feeling sorry for us now but mostly me
'Cos once again I take the blame (take the blame)
If it makes you feel better to have the last word
Then the last word
Give your last word it's all that you can claim
No more games

I said that you were right
How many more times must you hear it?
You were right
It's been one hell of a ride, I'm happy to step aside
Yeah you were right,
Now who in the world would believe in it
You were right this time
Could we please put the gun down
Must you wave that thing around

You were right
You were right this time
You were right
You were right this time
You were right
You were right this time
You were right
You were right this time
