Easy Mistake
you said you needed time away from me.
now, he's telling me all the things i wanted you to say.
easy mistake.
take me for granted one more time.
please, make me a fool for you.
easy mistake, i want it any way i can.
my forsaken angel, i hold you up so high.
it's an easy mistake.
how do i get what i want this time?
you're nowhere to be found.
it was an easy mistake, i let you back in.
you played the smiths and sang along,
because you are human and you needed to be loved,
just like everybody else and me.
and i listened to all of the ways
in which i let you down. easy mistake.
we woke in the morning
and you left me mourning
what i knew to be inevitable.
though your words weren't consistant
i still felt the guilt hit
when you pushed the weight back on me.
it was an easy mistake.
