Biggest Mistake

When love comes so late
It'll really hit hard
It slams through the gate
It'll catch you off guard
Everyone said: What a perfect love match
'Cause she is so smart, she's a hell of a catch
I was drinking in love
Gulping it down
Drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after a while I stopped to rebel
I'm back in the past and I'm raising up hell
But I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
We'd been living together for over a year
The harmony's perfect, it rang loud and clear
But then very slowly
My nerves start to fray
The little things big
That's what they say
I acted impatient, I acted unkind
I took her for granted
I played with her mind
She didn't deserve it but it was too late
I walked out the door and left her to her fate
But I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
Now I'm down in a slump and I'm eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, I'm becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch
But if love comes again
I'll be really surprised
I'll grab it real fast
Keep it right in my sights
'Cause I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well, I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well, I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life
