What Went Wrong Lyrics by Helluva Boss
(Feat. Bryce Pinkham, Barrett Wilbert Weed)

My starfire
There’s so much you don’t know that you can do
The stars were made to share with you, reach inside
Name the hesitation trapped within
Unlock it and you’ll begin

To find the words, conquer the thoughts that blocked you all along
A fire lives inside you, light the spark and you’ll be strong
I’ll help you look within yourself
So tell me, child, what went wrong?

What went wrong?
Ugh, you should know that

I don’t understand

I— I almost lost you

Via

Do you know how it feels to not have a voice?
No one around to listen when I scream into the void
Do you know what it does to your little owlet
When you said you’d stay, then took yourself away?
Did you forget?
You say you wanna clean the slate and make it better now
But how the hell am I supposed to know you give a shit about me

When all you’ve ever done is leave?
It’s like you never think about me, it’s all about you
And you can’t see me here without you when you’re gone
Thought you were gone, forever gone
So don’t ask me what went wrong

Do you know how it feels to live without choice?
Do anything to numb the pain, whatever it destroys?
Do you know what it does to disguise who you are?
To thicken up your skin ’til every single inch is scarred?

Yet all of these excuses don’t excuse the way I act
Can’t rewrite the way I left, but now I always will come back
I regret the life I led, the things I said, the owl I am
Via, you’re the only thing I ever did that’s worth a damn
Help me to turn a new page

Maybe I can if you are hearing me in a new way

You open my eyes, you’re seeing me now
We’re singing the same bittersweet song
I’m still here no matter what went wrong
