About “Where Did I Go Wrong”
Sometimes a relationship ends abruptly, and only one person understands why. In
this story, one person is left hurting while the other turns away without explanation.
Questions linger. Doubt creeps in. The person left behind begins to wonder
whether they were ever truly loved at all. The song captures that painful
uncertainty and the self-blame that often follows.
This song was officially copyrighted in 1997, but its questions remain timeless.

Where Did I Go Wrong?

Where Did I Go Wrong, what could I have done, to turn you away
I’ve loved only you and I tried to see it through
The bad times and the good, I’d change it all if I could
If I only knew, Where Did I Go Wrong
Didn’t you love me like you said, you thought a lot of me
When we were together, I thought it was forever
But now we both live alone, I haven’t got a home
It’s like I’m dead and unborn again, didn’t you love me like you said
Where Did I Go Wrong, what could I have done, to turn you away
The days go by pretty fast but the nights just seem to last and last
You stay in my mind like an unwritten song
And I keep on wondering Where Did I Go Wrong
What could I have done to turn you away
