I Wish I Was Wrong
Travis Tritt · Down the Road I Go [Columbia] [2000]
Learned the hard way love is blind
But you can't deny the bitter truth
When it's right before your eyes.
But I wish I was wrong
Your love for me is gone
I know beyond a doubt
There's no use in hanging on
But I wish I was wrong.
The world trembled there beneath me
It was more than I could stand
That you'd take comfort in the arms
Of another man.
I searched my heart for answers
I looked deep down in my soul
From denial to revelation
That I'd have to let you go.
But I wish I was wrong
Your love for me is gone
I know beyond a doubt
There's no use in hanging on
But I wish I was wrong.
Yes, I wish I was wrong...
