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
