Wrong Direction 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 falling 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

What is the Meaning of Wrong Direction?

In this poignant ballad, the artist navigates the aftermath of a painful relationship, marked by deception and emotional turmoil. The narrative reveals her struggle with self-blame for allowing herself to be deceived. She reproaches herself for ignoring the signs of her partner's unfaithfulness, blinded by love and hope. The recurring phrase "Loved me with your worst intentions" suggests that she fell for a person who exploited her love for their own selfish desires. The song title metaphorically alludes to the direction their relationship took - a direction filled with pain and betrayal. Nonetheless, it also serves as an acknowledgment of her misjudgment in choosing a partner, suggesting growth and self-awareness from this experience. This introspective piece is not just about heartbreak but also about learning from our mistakes and moving forward.
