[Verse 1]
You said, “Are you fine?”
I laughed, said, “Yeah, I’m great”
You heard it as a thunderclap
I meant it just as rain
You crossed your arms so quiet
I tried to crack a joke
You said my smile cut like a knife
I only meant to cope
[Chorus]
She sings:
It’s the wrong kind of right
Every time you speak, I fight
You say “baby, calm down,” I hear “you’re too much”
You swear it’s love, I just feel out of touch
We’re lost in the spaces between what you say
And what I hear tonight
It’s the wrong kind of right
[Verse 2]
I said, “You’re being crazy”
Meant “I’m scared of losing you”
Guess I wrapped my fear in fire
And I lit the fuse
You said, “So I’m just crazy?”
Chairs scraped, doors half-slammed
I stood there with my empty hands
Not sure who I am
[Chorus]
She sings:
It’s the wrong kind of right
Every time you speak, I fight
You say “baby, calm down,” I hear “you’re too much”
You swear it’s love, I just feel out of touch
We’re lost in the spaces between what you say
And what I hear tonight
It’s the wrong kind of right
[Bridge]
He: I trip over simple words
Turn “I’m trying” into “I don’t care” (oh)
She: I turn every little slip
Into proof you were never there
Both:
We’re both so tired of talking loud
And feeling miles apart
I’m begging you, just read my eyes
Not just my broken heart
[Chorus]
She leads, he echoes:
(It’s the) wrong kind of right
(Yeah, we) turn every touch to a fight
You say “baby, I’m here,” I hear “don’t you cry”
You’re reaching out while I’m bracing for goodbye
We’re lost in the spaces between what you say
And what I hear tonight
Let’s turn down the hurt and turn up the light
Till our words fit our hearts
From the wrong kind of wrong
To the right kind of right
