Where My Life Went Wrong
By Indio

My life was good
Now it's just sad
I was one of the lucky ones
having both a mom and a dad

Where did my life go wrong?

When I met a new friend,
I thought we would be tight
until the very end

Where did my life go wrong?

I was on top of the world,
because with her, I could do no wrong
When I needed her, she was always there
No matter what others said about us
I did not care

Where did my life go wrong?

My mother even warned me
that she would destroy my life
but I never thought twice
She had me completely hypnotized
with her allure and to me, it was on,
so nice

Where did my life go wrong?

Oh yeah, I know,
the day I met Crystal
