“Critical Mistake” is yet again another song and about Ben’s failing relationships.
In this song Ben consistently bashes himself for his screw ups, he also talks about his girlfriends persistency to highlight all of his wrong doings all of the time and at the same time Ben also shares his skepticis...
Critical Mistake Lyrics
[Intro: Spoken Word - Laura Whiteside]
You have sixteen new messages
First new message:
Why do I even bother calling you
I've called you sixteen times today
And I know you've been online
So stop ignoring me
[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now you've called me up again
To remind me of the ways I fucked up
So then I'll take all the blame
It all just feels the same
And we move on
Then I screw it up again
Are you noticing a trend?
Should I go on?
So I said:
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]
I'm the sinner, you're a saint
You will always have your way
Will you let go?
But when a cynic and a snake come together
It could take a miracle
But it only lasts so long
I know it won't be long 'till I screw up
Can we start it all again
And go back to when we were both wrong?
'Cause we're both wrong
So I said
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
[Bridge: FIl Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow]
And it all just seemed too perfect to be true
There's nothing perfect about me and you
And I tried to see the best
But I saw right through you
And I know I could be better
But you won't let me forget
That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head
[Verse 3: Ben Barlow]
You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now I'm walking out the door
Like all those times before
Guess I fucked up
So I said
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying to bridge the distance
You've been thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else

Ben said via Kerrang!:
Fil wrote the majority of the lyrics for this one. I remember him sending it to us acoustically, and it had this driving chorus that we all liked. Seb being the wizard that he is, made it into a full band song with this Weezer-y vibe, which is something that we definitely wan...
