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 AM and I'm alone

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 act 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'll be unlike any other,
until your guilt goes up in flames

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending,
to the bad day I'd gotton used to spending
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothing lasts forever,
even when you stay together
I don't need forever after,
but 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?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
