Swell Season, The - I Have Loved You Wrong Lyrics






Forgive me lover,
for I have sinned
For I have done you wrong.

For I have hurt
beyond repair,
When tears occurred
No, I didn’t care.

Forgive me Lover,
for I have sinned
For I have loved you wrong.

But this estranged organ in my chest
Still beats for you
It will not rest, so
Meet me in our secret place
When the time has come

Rest your head
in my lap
And I'll lead you out of your own trap
and I'll show you how much
you have missed through the
Time we weren't right

Ah...
Ah...

So forgive me lover,
for I have sinned
For I have let you go.

But you've been every now and then on my mind,
You’re every now and then on my mind [7x]

You’re on my mind,
On my mind [7x]

[Acapella]
On my mind. [7x]

Swell Season, The I Have Loved You Wrong Comments
  1. A.... ....

    I remember when I first heard this song I had always heard it from Marketa and Glen's perspective as the lovers talked about. I loved it because I thought it was so sincere and like a window into their relationship. But now, after living some life I see my own experience in it, and it just feels so much more meaningful to me now. Funny how ten years can change the way you listen to a song.

  2. C.... ....

    I have Hurt beyond repair...................wow...softly she is loving him

  3. C.... Z....

    incredibly beautiful

  4. J.... J....

    I offer this song to J - I blamed you for the rain but never thanked you for the sunshine, however brief. Thank you for our time together. I wish you happiness.

    J.... J....

    Interesting my ex sent me this song a long time ago prob at least 3. Just broke up with a new girlfriend recently and now I am moving to a new country after a spell of military service. My name starts with a J as well.

    J.... J....

    It's always a J.

  6. G.... A....

    Sensacional!

  7. E.... ....

    Amazingly beautiful..... The most sincere romantic song I've heard in an age.

  8. t.... ....

    I put off watching the Swell Season documentary for years because I didn't want to watch them break up but I didn't find it too bad... until it got to the scene where she sings this and talks about how some people are meant for each other but it just can't happen because it isn't right at the time but they'll be together in the next life, that just wrecked me :(

    t.... ....

    I could no have said it more poignantly.

  9. L.... R....

    "Every now and then on my mind yeah", such a gorgeous phrase. 

  10. M.... ....

    Im sad they dont make music together anymore :c

    M.... ....

    It’s a crime really to let this talent together dissolve !! There magical together !!

  11. G.... J....

    Beautiful voice...so clean!!

  12. H.... G....

    this song is giving me "peace"

  13. D.... D....

    One of the most beautiful and sincere songs I've ever heard.

  14. J.... C....

    ...  una melodìa envolvente .....  una voz càlida y hermosa ...  y una letra que nos enseña verdaderamente a amar .....   desde la pelìcula " Once " han aportado a nuestras vidas un destello de luz ......  son tan buenos artistas que no caben en el sucio mundo de la popularidad ... 

  15. D.... W....

    This song causes the water to flow....    and I can't stop it.   Beautiful in a sad way.

  16. R.... H....

    Incredible song

  17. C.... F....

    Can't this song just last forever?

  18. L.... ....

    We used this song in my first ballet class.

    Their souls must be really beautiful, because they are making magic with their voices...

    "Meet me in our secret place"

  23. i.... ....

    this is amazing, blown away.

  24. t.... ....

    I teared up the moment the song started I NEED to watch Once,

  25. S.... C....

    be in love till its hurts to breathe.

  26. J.... ....

    I agree with you. This song and the intro of Marketa in the documentary perfectly fitted their situation of that moment... Really sad... You could also see the tears in the eyes of Marketa.

  27. d.... m....

    this song goes straight to my soul

  28. m.... a....

    bana hilali hatırlattı şimdi.ah hilal nerdesin şimdi ya.seni özledim.

  29. F.... c....

    Superbe chanson!

  30. P.... ....

    This remains the only song to have ever made me cry. Mostly because of how it was performed in The Swell Season documentary. I've teared up in plenty of songs, never cried. So personal and heartfelt

  31. c.... c....

    things will get easier I promiss...

  32. m.... ....

    @originallysmurfedout They're in the description. I've added them to the video annotations so you can follow along with the song. Enjoy!

  33. S.... M....

    No dislikes...what I call pure talent.

  34. K.... ....

    This song reminds me of someone...

  35. E.... ....

    If you like this you should check out Glen Hansard & The Frames. Not all quite as mellow but Glen's voice is amazing & they always kick arse live! There's not alot on Youtube but Irishmusiccentral have uploaded some good stuff. Fitzcarraldo, Star star and esp. Hey Day - written by his best friend Mic Christopher who passed away in 2001. Glen and Mic did a great version of Elvis Suspicious Minds on Grafton St. Dublin. Glen & The Frames are amazing and deserve more recognition! Enjoy! :-))

  36. o.... ....

    @aqualee900 yes. They're still on tour.

  37. n.... ....

    Only real music can have 0 dislikes after a whole year

  39. G.... V....

    BROTHERS AND SISTERS

  41. M.... K....

  42. B.... ....

    It's . So . Incredibly . Beautiful..

  43. L.... L....

    I'm so excited to finally get the opportunity to see them live later this month! Their music is beautiful. Can't tell you how many times I went to the library to pick out a movie & I would always bypass the movie "Once". Nearly a year later, I finally just got it. This movie opened up a whole new horizon of music for me and for that I am thankful! I am just sorry it took me so long. Don't let this happen to you.

  44. d.... ....

    I saw theses guys in Raliegh the other week, and they were the best live show I've seen. So emotional and their music sounds so much more raw when played live...amazing

  45. K.... ....
