"Mistake”

Words & Music By Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick
Verse One:
The only three words that you never said were the ones I ached to hear
But now I could care less about you dear
It's sad to think how much of my time was wasted on you
I find it downright laughable that I loved you
Lead In:
But you used me from the start
Playing games with my sacred heart
And I'm where I should be now
Well darling I got by somehow
Chorus:
You were a mistake (mistake) I had to learn from
A mistake (mistake) A mistake I had to make
I deserve someone better than you
Verse Two:
I always used to see your face in the crowd
and think of how you let me down
I let myself play victim, I was your clown
You always used to keep me waiting
You had me dangling by a string
All alone on Friday night waiting for the phone to ring
(Repeat Lead In)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Lead In)
(Repeat Chorus)
End:
The only three words that you never said were the ones I ached to hear
But now I could care less about you dear
