My Favorite Mistake

(Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott)

 

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 we creep in

It's six 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

You're my favorite mistake

 

Well your friends act sorry for me

They watch you pretend to adore me

But I'm no fool to this game

 

Here comes your secret lover

She'll be unlike any other

Until your guilt goes up in flames

 

[Chorus]

Did you know when you go

its the perfect ending to the bad day

I was just beginning

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

Its 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 I've ever loved

Now everything's so wrong

Well 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
