Don't mistake me for a Wildwood A place to run and hide Don't mistake me for a Wildwood Where your love can go to die I'm not a place to hang your head Run away from yourself You decided a long time ago That I was the one to help Don't mistake me for a Wildwood A place to run and hide Don't mistake me for a Wildwood Where your love can go to die I start to feel like a broken game Tucked in a cupboard stored away Don't you remember how we used to laugh When we remembered how to play Oh it speaks so loud Like a headline in the news Oh it speaks so loud That you did what you did just to lose That you could not find... the blues Don't mistake me for a Wildwood A place to run and hide Don't mistake me for a Wildwood Where your love can go to die
