Everything That’s Wrong Lyrics by Linda Eder

Gold

2002

Everybody needs to be with somebody
Even after all the cold hard facts are known
Like your heart will probably break
What with all that give and take
Still you just can't seem
To leave the thing alone

So you hold your breath
And you count to ten
And you're scared to death
But you close your eyes
And fall in love again
'Cause in the middle of the night
He'll hold you tight
And then everything that's wrong
Will be alright

Now you swear you'll keep romance
In perspective
But, with love
It's always famine or it's feast
And a hungry heart forgets
Tends to minimize regrets
So as sure as there's
A sunrise in the east
There's a silver moon
That your heart can't waste
And then pretty soon
There's a stranger's kiss
That you can't wait to taste
'Cause when the apple is in sight
You take a bite
Hopin' everything that's wrong
Will be alright
Maybe this time jealousy and fear
Will get the best of you
Maybe this time you will give a little more
Maybe this time you will look
And find somebody who
Isn't quite as crazy as those times before

So you try again
'Till you get it right
And you never know when to let it go
Or when to hold on tight
But when there's nothin' else that works
Well, love just might
So when romance comes along
We all struggle to belong
So that everything that's wrong
Will be alright
