I used to try
To psych myself out
Pretending the ending
Was never in doubt

Mistakes
So confusing
Mistakes
And you were a doozy
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.

Right at the start
Things seemed terrific
But things looks rosy
When you don’t get too specific

Mistakes
So confusing
Mistakes
And you were a doozy
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.

A promising beginning
Turned possessive and clinging
I should have known
I should have known

Mistakes
So confusing
Mistakes
And you were a doozy
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.
