Mistake

By: R. A. Cvetich

Meaningless glances

Hopes of second chances

Are things of the past

I’m letting go of

A long misused love

We knew would never last

Empty words

And feelings unheard

Are flushed down the drain

A boy who’s not there

And doesn't even care

Just isn’t worth the pain

You have been erased

I don’t have any more time to waste

CHORUS

I’m getting up off my knees

Been cured of this heartsick disease

I don’t have to beg for anyone’s affection

Too bad you never understood

That you passed up something good

You were too obsessed with perfection

Someday you’ll look into my eyes

And think of how you could’ve stayed

And it’s then you’ll realize:

What a mistake you made

Pointless tears

And wasted years

Don’t haunt me anymore

With love thrown away

And no reason to stay

I’m walking out that door

With all the lies

It’s no surprise

That I am moving on

It could’ve been romance

But you missed your chance

Boy, I’m already gone

I’m done missing you

I’ve got better things to do

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

I ripped your pictures off my wall

Burned all of your letters

You know we could have had it all

But I deserve better

Yeah, someday you’ll awake

From your dream that is so fake

And your heart is gonna break

Cuz boy, you made a mistake

And you’ll want us to be back on

But your chance has come and gone

Repeat CHORUS
