The Mistake That Killed My Happy Ending

I wish I could say
Everything will be ok
Everyone expects me to be fine
But I know I won’t be till I know you’re mine

There’s something missing inside
There’s something I can’t hide
Trying to act like everything’s fine
But inside its killing me knowing that you’re not mine

All these feelings inside I just can’t fight
I need your love tonight
Thinking about it every day
You are perfect in every single way

I didn’t mean any of those things I said
If I had to lose you I’d rather be dead
This is one nightmare from which I can’t wake
I’m praying you will forgive me for my mistake

I let you slide through my holding grasp
Now guilt is rushing in with its hideous mask
How can I ever look you in the face again
Knowing how I destroyed you from within

I wish I could say
Everything will be ok
Everyone expects me to be fine
But I know I won’t till I know you’re mine

Save me from this pain inside
This guilt is reminding me how I lied
Forgive me for my mistake
I promise you never again will I forsake
Your love is just too great
It will forever stop this heartache

There’s something missing inside
There’s something I can’t hide
Trying to act like everything’s fine
But inside it’s killing me knowing that you’re not mine

This is one nightmare from which I can’t wake
I’m praying you will forgive me for my mistake

I know you'll disagree but if this is about who I think it is, you weren't at fault
