Mistake

You said forever
Over and over 
You said I love you
Over and over 

It seems like forever has an end
It seems like I love you didn’t mean a thing

I could cry 
I could beat myself up till there’s nothing left 
But you don’t deserve my tears
You don’t deserve to have the satisfaction of breaking my heart

You gave me every reason to believe I found the one
But somehow all your love slowly faded away and fell apart

It was all a lie
I was under your spell, meant to see an illusion set in front of me
I gave you everything
And you never really cared 

You’re leaving me just when I thought you were mine
But I might be holding on too tight

Don’t you forget what we had 
Even though you were never really there
You’ll look back one day 
And that day you will realize, “I made a mistake”
