lyrics

how could so right go so wrong

I heard you crying in the middle of the night
the rain runs down the window pane
and you ask me how the wind howls
and I silently explain…

It’s all so very strange
yeah, it’s so very strange
It’s all so very strange
yeah it’s so very strange
one thing I’ve wondered,
I’ve wondered all along
is how could so right go so wrong ?
yes, how could so right go so wrong ?

day turns into night and night turns into day
and I have to wonder will it always be this way?
I used to have the heart, yeah I managed to believe
but now these things have vanished
I think that I should leave

it's all so very strange
yeah, it’s so very strange
It’s all so very strange
yeah it’s so very strange
and I knew it in my heart, yes I knew it all along
but how could so right go so wrong ?
how could so right go so wrong ?

oh the days go on forever
it’s like forever now I know
but when you get rid
of the demons which rise
to the surface
there’s darker demons
below

It’s all so very strange
yeah, it’s so very strange
It’s all so very strange
yeah it’s so very strange
sometimes it takes a minute, sometimes it takes so long
I guess I always felt it but it never felt this strong
that’s why I have to sing it, I have to sing this song
that’s called how could so right go so wrong ?
yes, how could so right go so wrong ?
