Lyrics
Honest Mistake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Its an honest mistake to let a young heart break, and the promise you make
Can be taken home, or taken away
When love is sold and bought at less than cost these days
I've found the perfect replacement for love just in case she eludes me in life
I'm alive and oh, that's a miracle
And they say we're born in lust, love's just a dream to us
And my heart is a slayer of doubts, a purveyor of keeping you out
An obeyer of no one and nothing at all
There ain't no way we're going to stop today
That's how we operate
*the world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help
We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it
("oh man, you effed up big time." "what? we kind of just fell off." "teresa is gonna kill you.")
Not my fault
You make an honest mistake, they never let you forget it
Your cut of the take was a loss, she did but you didn't regret it
Cause they say we come from dust, look what's become of us
We're gonna give 'em our worst if they hurt us on purpose
When loves in decline, it's a crime but oh, we're criminals
And there ain't no day gonna stop the way that we operate
*the world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help
We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it
