Lyrics and translation Matthew Ryan - They Were Wrong

They Were Wrong

I wish I'd known, maybe I could've helped you
But you were already gone to the trouble that held you
Come knee high you were treated like the meantime
Well they might've been young but excuses just become lies

They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
The day is never too long
When it's gone it's gone
They were wrong
My god they're still wrong

We were drinking warm beer at Ninth and Michigan
You were making me nervous but I was still listening
Well he might've been a talker but he never said too much
He was just a souvenir from a cold done dead love

They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
The day is never too long
When it's gone it's gone
They were wrong
My god they're still wrong

Here's the saddest song you never heard
These catholic kids get what they deserve

We were in the front row at the sad last goodbye
You were so pissed off you were trembling inside
Why would you ever live to wish and wait by the front door
That your daddy never answered and your momma won't any more?

They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
The day is never too long
When it's gone it's gone
They were wrong
My god they're still wrong

They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
They're still wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
They were wrong
My god they're still wrong

Ils avaient tort

J'aurais aimé le savoir, peut-être que j'aurais pu t'aider
Mais tu étais déjà partie vers les ennuis qui te tenaient
Dès ton plus jeune âge, on t'a traitée comme un passage en revue
Eh bien, ils étaient peut-être jeunes, mais les excuses ne sont que des mensonges

Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Le jour n'est jamais trop long
Quand c'est fini, c'est fini
Ils avaient tort
Mon Dieu, ils ont encore tort

On buvait de la bière tiède à Ninth et Michigan
Tu me mettais mal à l'aise, mais j'écoutais quand même
Eh bien, il était peut-être bavard, mais il ne disait jamais trop de choses
Il n'était qu'un souvenir d'un amour froid et mort

Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Le jour n'est jamais trop long
Quand c'est fini, c'est fini
Ils avaient tort
Mon Dieu, ils ont encore tort

Voici la chanson la plus triste que tu n'aies jamais entendue
Ces enfants catholiques obtiennent ce qu'ils méritent

On était au premier rang lors du triste dernier adieu
Tu étais tellement en colère que tu tremblais à l'intérieur
Pourquoi voudrais-tu vivre pour souhaiter et attendre devant la porte
Que ton père ne réponde jamais et que ta mère ne réponde plus ?

Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Le jour n'est jamais trop long
Quand c'est fini, c'est fini
Ils avaient tort
Mon Dieu, ils ont encore tort

Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils ont encore tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Ils avaient tort
Mon Dieu, ils ont encore tort
