A Mistake Lyrics by Nothington

Roads, Bridges, and Ruins

2009

On common ground
Straight for so long
It took away my pain (pain)
And now it's done
I couldn't hold on
There's nothing left to say (say)
Can't sleep
Eyes red
I'm better off dead
Can't you see I'm wide awake?
Better days
I wish they'd stayed
For better days
I'll wait
It's a break
No control
Oh, and how I shoulda known
I wish I'd held my end up all this time
A mistake
Once again
Oh, and how I let you in
I wish I'd held my end up all this time
On the run
Hiding from myself
I've wasted so much time (time)
There's no way out
This ??? too tired of this
I can't walk a straight line (line)
It's a break
No control
Oh, and how I shoulda known
I wish I'd held my end up all this time
A mistake
Once again
Oh, and how I let you in
I wish I coulda foreseen the decline
It's a break
No control
Oh, and how I shoulda known
I wish I'd held my end up all this time
A mistake
Once again
Oh, and how I let you in
I wish I coulda foreseen the decline
(Make no mistake)
No mistake, no control, no control
(Make no mistake)
No mistake, no control, no control
Make no mistake
