“My Mistake”
I wanted to talk
You didn’t want to listen
Now don’t ask
Don’t make me promises
I don’t want to see you
Nor do I want to believe
That it will be different
That everything changed
You say you don’t know
What was wrong
And my mistake was believing
That being at your side would be enough
Oh my god you were everything I wanted
I said your name
Don’t abandon me
Even though I want to
I’m not gonna fool myself
I know your steps
I see your mistakes
There’s nothing new
We are still the same
So don’t call me
Don’t look back
Don’t ever abandon me
Don’t ever leave me
Don’t abandon me ever
