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
[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'd be unlike any other Until your guilt goes up in flames
[Chorus:] 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
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
