lyrics

To Gwen From Lev

I will wear my best vest
Sharp as a knife to impress
I will bite my tongue
Never to be the foolish one

But what came over me?
Why did I try to speak?

Oh Gwen, I do sincerely apologize
I never wanted you to cry.
Now, I’m the only one who’s on my side
But I only did what you knew I was going to do
I only did it cause you wanted me too.

Your gown the softest down
slipping through my fingers without a sound
Skin as pretty as porcelain
scattered across the velvet floor.

Oh what could have been?
If you had stayed silent.

Oh Gwen, I do sincerely apologize
I never wanted you to cry.
Now, I’m the only one who’s on my side
But I only did what you knew I was going to do
I only did it cause you wanted me too.

Is it so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
Is it so wrong?
