My 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.
Who knew it'd be so easy
To lose yourself completely
Forever stuck in your old ways
I saw you in the limelight
Your flaws I turned a blind guy
'Cause you swore you'd always be okay
But you keep hurting yourself and you just can't see
You put out your fires with gasoline
But it pours on me
And I'm tired of the mess you leave
If I knew that through the years you'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
So I'd never have to face
The hollow shell you masquerade
And if I knew the words that you sold me
Covered up the truth you've been holding
I would learn to let you go
Before we traveled down this road
Now all I have is ignorance to blame
But I guess that was my mistake
Trapped by your limitations
A bright potential wasted
On fantasies you live to chase
You say that nobody else will understand
Push them away when you get the chance
And I'm the last to stay
But I just can't watch as you fade away
If I knew that through the years you'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
So I'd never have to face
The hollow shell you masquerade
And if I knew the words that you sold me
Covered up the truth you've been holding
I would learn to let you go
Before we traveled down this road
Now all I have is ignorance to blame
But I guess that was my mistake
And I hope you find the missing pieces
And love yourself without a reason
'Cause right now we're just in a losing game whoa
And I'm sorry that I couldn't save ya
From all your self inflicted danger
I wish you the best but it's too late
If I knew that through the years you'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
So I'd never feel the pain
Of watching us go down the drain
I wish I knew the words that you sold me
Covered up the truth you've been holding
In a heart that won't let go
Of everything it's always known
I foolishly believed one day you'd change
But I guess that was my mistake
My mistake
My mistake
Oh I should've seen it coming
Should've seen it coming
My mistake
My mistake
My mistake
Oh I should've seen it coming
Should've seen it coming
Who knew it'd be so easy
To lose yourself completely
Forever stuck in your old ways
