My Greatest Little Mistake

Dead end street and our house is on fire
Heavy head got me feeling tongue tied
I guess that you had always been a live wire
Didn't dream that this mirror would crack
Never thought I'd pull the knife from my back
You think it got me but it's just a scratch

So tell me did you really think I was hurting?
Did you really think that you were the one
That I can't live without?

Cause I don't need you and you don't know me
What's it gonna take for me to recognise the warnings
And I tell you, you don't know me
And I'm a fire in your flames
Crazy if you think I'll stay
'Cause you're forever my mistake
Remember that I'm not afraid
'Cause you're forever my mistake

My biggest, greatest little mistake

Yeah, we tried, it wasn't meant to be
Burned our house down when I wanted to leave
We're only happy when there's casualty
(Only happy when you know that there's casualties)
Oh I know if these walls could talk
They would run before they ever could walk
But you're still a liar when the curtain falls

So tell me did you really think I was hurting?
Did you really think that you were the one
That I can't live without?

Cause I don't need you and you don't know me
What's it gonna take for me to recognise the warnings
And I tell you, you don't know me
And I'm a fire in your flames
Crazy if you think I'll stay
'Cause you're forever my mistake
Remember that I'm not afraid
'Cause you're forever my mistake

My biggest, greatest
I can't take this
Why do I can't overrate it
Fuck this greatest little mistake
