The Mistake

Sometimes the sweetest things turn out wicked
And some of the best decisions turn out the worst;
I poured out my heart –
There’s nothing left;
And this was the best thing to ever happen to me,
Yet you turned it into one of the worst
Yeah, it was something so great hidden in disguise
But you overlooked it in your lies

Now I realize my mistake –
It was you,
And I’m your mistake

The soft words that flowed from your mouth
Led me down the wrong path;
The feeling I had was real,
You chose not to listen
And you failed to realize it

So welcome to loneliness
And seeing how it feels
You’re putting yourself in this carnage
Someday you’ll realize what you’ve done

Now I realize my mistake –
It was you,
And I’m your mistake

The spear you threw
Pierced right through my heart
And now I see that yours is really black –
An honest judgment after the fact,
I should’ve seen it from the start

Maybe I was desperate
Reaching somewhere I shouldn’t;
The scars you left unlocked old ones
Sending me back in time
To the depths of my mind terrorizing my soul

You’ll never know the amount of pain you imposed
Misleading and killing something so good
And you’ll never understand what you meant
Now I know what I meant to you –
And it was nothing.
