One Mistake Is All It Takes

Remember the first time we met
Sparkle in the eyes
Glistening by the sunshine
Love, was I in love?
Was all I could think of
The memories we created
Now they're dead
One mistake is all it takes

Remember walking the halls 
Felt like walking isles
The warm touch of our hands
The connection went through
I could hardly stand 
Being right beside you
Could you stand me too?
One mistake is all it takes

Remember the pictures 
Kisses on the cheek
How bright and happy we were
Too bad you had to cheat
We cherished the smiles
Times that we shared
Did you think about me 
Or was it all about her?

Broken apart pieces that fall
No matter what, no giving up
Can't be down, have to be strong

Have to try moving on... With my life.. After all
One mistake was all it took
