Song lyrics

I don't hate you
No, I couldn't if I wanted to
I just hate all the hurt that you put me through
And that I blame myself for letting you
Did you know I already knew?

Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

Loved me with your worst intentions
Didn't even stop to question
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Loved me with your worst intentions
Painted us a happy ending
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven

And it's so gut-wrenchin'
Fallin' in the wrong direction

On my tip-toes
But I still couldn't reach your ego
Guess I was crazy to give you my body, my mind
Don't know what I was thinkin' 'til now
Everyone thinks that you're somebody else
You even convinced yourself

Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

Loved me with your worst intentions
Didn't even stop to question
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Loved me with your worst intentions
Painted us a happy ending
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven

And it's so gut-wrenchin' (Ooh, ooh)
Fallin' in the wrong direction (Ooh, ooh)
How did you sweep me right off my feet?
Baby, I can't keep fallin' in the wrong direction
How did you sweep me right off my feet?
Right off my feet

Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

Loved me with your worst intentions
Didn't even stop to question (Oh, no)
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Loved me with your worst intentions
Painted us a happy ending (Ooh)
Every time you burned me down (Me down)
Don't know how; for a moment, it felt like heaven

And it's so gut-wrenchin'
Fallin' in the wrong direction


Wrong Direction

[Verse 1:]
I don't hate you
No, I couldn't if I wanted to
I just hate all the hurt that you put me through
And that I blame myself for letting you
Did you know I already knew?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

[Chorus:]
Hold me with your worst intentions
Didn't even start to question
Every time you burn me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Hold me with your worst intentions
Paint it as a happy ending
Every time you burn me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven

[Post-Chorus:]
And it's so gut-wrenchin'
Fallin' in the wrong direction

[Verse 2:]
On my tip-toes
But I still couldn't reach your ego
Guess I was crazy to give you my body, my mind
Don't know what I was thinkin' 'til now
Everyone thinks that your somebody else
You've even convinced yourself

[Pre-Chorus:]
Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

[Chorus:]
Hold me with your worst intentions
Didn't even start to question
Every time you burn me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Hold me with your worst intentions
Paint it as a happy ending
Every time you burn me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven

[Post-Chorus:]
And it's so gut-wrenchin' (Ooh, ooh)
Fallin' in the wrong direction (Ooh, ooh)
How did you sweep me right off my feet?
Baby, I can't heal (Fallin' in the wrong direction)
How did you sweep me right off my feet?
Right off my feet

[Pre-Chorus:]
Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone

[Chorus:]
Hold me with your worst intentions
Didn't even start to question (Oh, no)
Every time you burn me down
Don't know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Hold me with your worst intentions
Paint it as a happy ending (Ooh)
Every time you burn me down (Me down)
Don't know how; for a moment, it felt like heaven

[Post-Chorus:]
And it's so gut-wrenchin'
Fallin' in the wrong direction
