Lyrics
It?s like my life has been one long drive
In the wrong direction
Don?t really mind because I?m doing fine
With good intentions
Here it is, my confession
Coming from those hours that I stayed up too late
Thinking of you, thinking of you
You were the best mistake that I ever made
I built you up so you could bring me down
And I landed so far, stranded where you are
You were still the best mistake I ever made
You painted my blank canvas of a sky
With your fingertips
Touching the night where the stars ignite
I gave into it
I hid in this fortress and it crumbled beneath me
Lost my footing on this road of life
?Cause I fell for you, yes I fell for you
You were the best mistake that I ever made
I built you up so you could bring me down
And I landed so far, stranded where you are
You were still the best mistake I ever made
We were dreamers, we were gambling our hearts away
Betting that a little faith would let us be fine
Now it?s all over and my heart is bruised and black
?Cause you?re never coming back, you?re never coming back
You were the best mistake that I ever made
I built you up so you could bring me down
And I landed so far, stranded where you are
You were still the best mistake I ever made
