i've been wrong before

i was around when the bridge got burned, i take a lesson but i never learn, and i walk my way, and i don't look back, and they say it's not that bad man, but i think i'm running out of ways to believe that, so i took apart my television, i'd come to think i need a bigger one, when i look back now, had we lost our heads, you could tell i'm slipping backwards, by the way i could not understand what the man said, you were never there, when i was a beaten broken person, knocking at your door, i took you for a better friend, but i've been wrong before, i recommend what the old man said, you gotta do it if you wanna get ahead, but if you wanna get a heart you got to give yours to me, i think i'm slipping backwards, so you can't tell me to be there if you won't be, you were never there, when i was a beaten broken person, knocking at your door, i took you for a better friend, but i've been wrong, no, i've been wrong before
