Difranco, Ani - Done Wrong Lyrics
the wind is ruthless
the trees shake angry fingers at the sky
the people hunch their shoulders
hold their collars over their earsand run by
it's a cold rain
like the kind that you find in songs
i guess that makes methe jerk with the heartache
here to sing youabout how i've been done wrong
and i am sitting, watching
out the window of the coffee shop
and i am waiting, waiting
waiting for it to let up
i am rocking like a cradle
warming my hands with the cup in between
holding my face over the steam
and before it gets so cold
that the rain turns to snow
there's just a couple things
i'd like to know
like how could you do nothing
and say, i'm doing my best
how could you take almost everything
and then come back for the rest
how could you beg me to stay,
reach out your hands and plead
and then pack up your eyes and run away
as soon as i agreed
it just all slips
away so slowly
you don't even notice till you've lost a lot
i've been like one of those zombies
in vegas
pouring quarters into a slot
and now i'm tired
and i am broke
and i feel stupid and i feel used
and i'm at the end of my little rope
and i am swinging back and forth
about you
before it gets so cold
that the rain turns to snow
there's just a couple things
i'd like to know
like how could you do nothing
and say, i'm doing my best
how could you take almost everything
and then come back for the rest
how could you beg me to stay,
reach out your hands and plead
and then pack up your eyes and run away
as soon as i agreed

Difranco, Ani Done Wrong Comments
ughh i love Ani 😆.when I first heard this I wasn't in this place and still loved this song ,now I'm in this place and i love it even more, thanks for helping me get through this
Sounds like ‘hoovering’ technique in a relationship. I think the whole song is about being in a relationship with a narcissist. Relationship is cold, back and forth, and the continued lovebomb/discard, when she says ‘you pack up your eyes and run away’, and ‘how could you...’. All lyrics point to that imho. Sad...they do nothing but take
She is so underrated! Love this cd❤✌🏾
I can describe my life as the way i view ed the world poor to hearing this album and now ....enlightenment. Thanks Ani.now in awake
Uaahhhh..raw pure Ani.❤️❤️❤️
i mean these lyrics...powerful
such a beautiful voice
hurts alot
The best f(*& you you hurt me song.
The words of encouragement means a lot. Been fighting anxiety and depression. for so long now. idk if it will get better. Consistently. I have good days. but the bad days always come back.
Dominique Baptiste sleep hypnosis by Michael Seely really helped me through avlot. if you're open to it. grab some headphones an get comfy. fall asleep. repeat. search for him on You Tube hope it helps. I'm there too but it helps.
Jessica Worrall thank you I'll look into that. Thank you for sharing.
Hope everything is okay rn sweet angel
5 people are stuck in the cold hard rain
@maia s Cause it's a hard rain.
This song is beautiful
Too right! The absolute break up album of all time hands down.
YES! Anytime anyone asks on FB "what's a good breakup song" I always say "Ani Difranco- Dialate. The entire album. You're welcome" 😂
Yep, story of my life.
how do i post to facebook?
what's with the end of this song? that drop-off...
paysagebleu that's how the songs ends on the album, goes straight into the next one. You should give it a listen. :)
why wont this get louder?
I love when they say they are doing their best when they are doing nothing....and how they are so ignorant to the hurt they cause...she amazes me with her fearlessness of expressing her feelings so openly...i envy that
Wow, this takes me back about 10 years...
This album is her best. The end. No other.
Masahito Yamazaki totally still is today. She is genius.
Same here
Hope all is better now
I say the same thing, it IS the best break-up album ever!!!!!!!!
@darklabrynthlily Just realized how much has changed since I wrote this a year ago. From the greatest heartache to a happiness I never imagined awaited me. For those of you who listen to this and are completely broken.......don't give up. There still can be happiness and love to be found that's worth going through all this pain. I promise.
2:07 onwards...SO raw.
poetry at its best
ani is a true musician !!!
@quefrog Mine too,Quefrog. Best breakup album ever. ADORED it since I first heard it around 1998.
I agree with everyone about how wonderful the song is. The images you used were great! You must have searched for quite a while to find them. It added feelings that I don't usually associate with the song. Just different, which was nice.
this is visceral.. She's been there, as we all have, and the sorrow and grief and RAGE radiate out of her experience into this Art.. I just LOVE how she puts words to feelings so dark that they scare us.. the blessed bleak beauty of it all.
@supervaultdragon not messed up, normal. Right there with you :)
This is my life. You took my love, my baby, everything I owned....... .all my reasons........for even wanting to be.
"Dilate: 1. Make wider or larger; expand, amplify, enlarge. 2. extend, disseminate, disperse. 3. Relate at length; enlarge upon. 4. Discourse or write at large (on, upon). 5. Become wider or larger; spread out, enlarge." I always thought she was "dilating" upon having her heart broken. There's the obvious feminine aspect, but as a guy, this is still my favorite album of all time about being hurt by someone.
just when I think I have heard all the best Ani Defranco songs it gets better and better
and now I'm here
and it's still getting better <3
Does any1 have the guitar tabs to this song? =S
http://www.anitabs.net/tab/show/18 Only about 7 years too late but here you go.
The intro/1st verse sounds a lot like Suzanne Vega.
fucking LOVE this.. so very real.
so beautiful
ani. i simply love you.
thank you u are my hero
