Best Mistake -

I’m trying hard to be a better man for everyone who is involved with me

(And I can’t take it and I can’t help that)

I wanted to be courageous, but I’m not yet

We both know I’m the best mistake you’ve made

One of us had to care for me

I don’t want to be happy

I can’t sleep without you, I’m wide awake

I don’t want to be happy

I don’t want to be afraid

I am a burden, I’m not what I seem

The weaker I get, the more worthless I’ll be

You tell me I’m strong, what the fuck does that mean?

Don’t tell me to listen, no one listens to me

The shirt on my back’s fucking smothering me

Your lips on my neck and I cannot breathe

The taste of smoke on my tongue is all I had back then

You breathed hope into my lungs and taught me to feel again

We both know I’m the best mistake you’ve made

One of us had to care for me

I don’t want to be happy

I can’t sleep without you, I’m wide awake

I don’t want to be happy

I don’t want to be afraid

I wanted to be the courageous person that I know I can be

(I'm afraid that I…)

I’m sorry for being ambitious but I didn’t want you to leave

(I'm afraid that I…)

I wanted to be the courageous person that I know I can be

I don’t want to be afraid

I wanted to be the courageous person I know that I need to be
