I woke up and called this morning

The tone of your voice was a warning

That you didn'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 AM and I'm alone



(Chorus)

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



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'll be unlike any other

Until your guilt goes up in flames



(Chorus)



You're my favorite mistake

Maybe nothing 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
