My Favorite Mistake

1. I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore.

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone.

[Chorus1:]
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake.

2. Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game.

Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames.

[Chorus2:]
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake.

[Coda:]
Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way.

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong.

Did you see me walking by
Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake.
