Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 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 creeped in
It's 6 a.m. 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
[Verse 2]
While your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
[Verse 3]
Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames
[Chorus]
And 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
[Bridge]
Well, maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
But it's your laughter, won't let me go
So, I'm holding on this way
[Outro]
Did you know, could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong
And did you see me walking by
Did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah, you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
