It's Wrong

If I like 70's music, it's wrong
If my fashion is not to your taste, it's wrong
If I wear my hair with a fringe, it's wrong
My eyes were the wrong colour, my face to old,
My body the wrong shape, my hormones gone wild

If I don't keep moving, it's wrong
If I'm not purposeful, it's wrong,
If I dont have an opinion, it's wrong,
If I do have one, it's also wrong

If I fight when attacked, it's wrong
If I lay down and die, it's wrong,
If I have fears, it's wrong
If I am fearless, it's also wrong

If I'm upset when you don't come home, it's wrong
If I feel threatened when you lie about who your with, it's wrong
If I cry cos you hurt me, it's wrong
If I get mad, cos you lie, it's wrong
If I'm sad cos you left me, it's wrong

I tried to please you, it was wrong
I tried to please myself, it's wrong
I didn't love you enough, it's wrong
I loved you too much, it's wrong

If I was just being me, it's wrong
And she will be wrong soon too
What could I have done to make any of this right?
