I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore


I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in

It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

[Chorus:]

Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning

When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake


Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game


Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other

Until your guilt goes up in flames

[Chorus]


You're my favorite mistake


Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after

It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way


Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved

Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?

Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
