I’ve been naive and foolish
my eyes only seeing what they wish
denied the crimes
in front of me
I gave you all of my trust
blind faith kept me in the fight for us
the cause was lost
and I should have seen
baby I’ve been wrong before
the battles we fought, I thought it was a holy war
smoke rolls back I lift my eyes
all this time I was fighting for the wrong side
fighting for the wrong side
I marched like a toy soldier
obeyed every last order
to keep the peace
so I believed
Now you treat me like a stranger
walked out of my life and changed my world
the day you made
me your enemy
baby I’ve been wrong before
the battles we fought, I thought it was a holy war
smoke rolls back I lift my eyes
all this time I was fighting for the wrong side
fighting for the wrong side
I’ll tell you what my heart breaks for
wasted love that I’ll see no more
smoke rolls back I lift my eyes
all this time I was fighting, fighting,
fighting for the wrong side

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
