The Crime of Being Here

Verse 1

I sweep the porch and you find the leaves I missed

Every small thing I fix

Becomes another thing I broke

I say the careful word

You hear the careless one

I try to hold the room together

It comes apart in my hands

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I talk too loud

Maybe I go too quiet

Maybe I stand too still

Maybe I move too fast

Chorus

Everything I do is wrong

Everything I do is wrong

I'm sorry for the way I breathe

I'm sorry for the space I take

Everything I do is wrong

Post-Chorus

Wrong wrong wrong

(So wrong)

Wrong wrong wrong

Verse 2

I bring you dinner late

You wanted silence more

I fold the blankets neat

You wanted them undone

I carve the day in half

Trying to fit your shape

And every edge I cut

Still bleeds into your side

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I try too hard

Maybe I don't try enough

Maybe I hold too tight

Maybe I let it slip

Chorus

Everything I do is wrong

Everything I do is wrong

I'm sorry for the way I breathe

I'm sorry for the space I take

Everything I do is wrong

Post-Chorus

Wrong wrong wrong

(So wrong)

Wrong wrong wrong

Bridge

I built this house of sorry

Nailed every plank with please

I painted every wall with may I

And still you walk right through

Guitar Solo

Breakdown

No more

No more

No more apologizing

For the crime of being here

No more

No more

No more

Chorus

Everything I do is wrong

Everything I do is wrong

I'm done saying sorry for my lungs

I'm done shrinking to your shape

Everything I do is wrong

(And I'll do it anyway)

Everything I do is wrong
