The Wrong Idea

Skirmish: The Wrong _________ (fill... (@robinleaf)

Liner Notes

Lyrics

I guess I got the wrong idea When I thought that you cared for me I looked into your eyes and I believed your lies There’s none so blind as those who will not see I thought that you had made it clear that I was Mr Right for you But in the light of day You didn’t want to stay Because you never could be true

I guess I got the wrong idea I thought we’d never be apart When I said I love you You thought hashtag me too And you decided you would break my heart I didn’t give you cause to fear I guess it wasn’t meant to be We might have stayed just friends But that’s the way it ends And now it’s ancient history

I guess I got the wrong idea I know I should have read he signs I didn’t understand When you first took my hand You weren’t intending to cross any lines and now I wish you were still here But I kow life has to go on And there’s an empty space where I once saw your face I’ve no idea where you,ve gone

A very sad song of (too late found unrequited) love and loss.

Beautiful lyrics, and heartwrenching. Contrasts well with the ukulele, it's why I love that instrument so much!

Your gentle performance is just right for this -- enjoyed the poignant feel of this and esp. love your ending in the last three lines.

Oh this reaches deep into my heart - always sad when one person has a different perspective on a relationship. You capture and convey it so well. Love your melody and gentle gorgeous vocals on this.

This has bit of. spice that shines with that uke!

The wrong idea was a great way to take this, gentle song about unrequited affection. Great skirmish!

Ouch, this is really poignant and contrasts really well with the jaunty uke. I've been here... it's rough. "And you decided you would break my heart" is quietly devastating. Splendid write 👌

Love the depth and richness of the baritone uke! This song has a very classic sound, lovely!
