Lyrics

Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)

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.

I was I was I was I was

Gonna say something that would solve all our problems

But then I got drunk and I forgot what I was talking about

I forgot what I was talking about

Don't you, don't you, don't you know

There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody

There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you

Than to be loved by everybody but you, but you

If I can get my shit together

I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again

Never see any of you again

I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space

I always make such expensive mistakes

I know it's just a number but you're the 8th wonder

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)

When they make a darker color

(Oh, oh)

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

Woke up on the wrong side of p-p-paradise

And when I say I'm sorry I'm late I wasn't showing up at all

I really mean I didn't plan on showing up at all

Don't you, don't you, don't you know

I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended

I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended with you

I miss the days when I pretended with you, with you

If I can get my shit together

I'm gonna run away and never see any of you again

Never see any of you again

I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space

I always make such expensive mistakes

I know it's just a number but you're the 8th wonder

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)

When they make a darker color

(Oh, oh)

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)

When they make a darker color

(Oh, oh)

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

If we hadn't done this thing

I think I'd be a medicine man

So I could get high on my own supply whenever I can

I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape

From trying to fit in

I became such a strange shape, such a strange shape

I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space

I always make such expensive mistakes

I know it's just a number but you're the 8th wonder

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)

When they make a darker color

(Oh, oh)

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

(Whoa, whoa)

I'll stop wearing black

I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
