Extork Lyrics by Plaid

Not For Threes

1997

[Intro]
I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong

[Verse 1]
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I never meant to do the things that I did
I didn't want to, I was trying to be good
I used to use common sense to give me false confidence
But now I can laugh at myself instead of blaming myself
And now I'm lighthearted and free because nothing makes sense anymore
I was wrong

[Verse 2]
They was hoping we would change
We would change our minds and we'd all stay the same
We could notice that instead, but slap ourselves for our normal mistakes
And with crime, and with fight
And with might, and escape
And we'd play a stupid game, God, sinner, and blame
But black and blue just [?] but sense
The teacher in my head is saying, "When?"

[Chorus]
Don't you want to love yourself, and why not?
If you don't you might as well be fucked
Don't you want to love yourself, and why not?
Don't waste time and energy, come on

[Interlude]
I was wrong
I was wrong
I, I was wrong
I was wrong

[Chorus]
Don't you want to love yourself, and why not?
If you don't you might as well be fucked (I was wrong)
Don't you want to love yourself, and why not? (I was wrong)
Don't waste time and energy, come on (Release yourself)

[Verse 1]
I never meant to do the things that I did (I was wrong)
I didn't want to, I was trying to be good (I was wrong)
I used to use common sense to give me false confidence
But now I can laugh at myself, instead of blaming myself
And now I'm lighthearted and free because nothing makes sense anymore
I was wrong
