1000 Mistakes

February 8, 2019

she twists up her mouth and you just crumble to the floor
every word she says you hope for something more
but you can’t have her now

the brush of a hand, a glance, reality explodes
your runaway heart is carving feathers out of stone
but you can’t have her now
and you need to know somehow

you’d have to make a thousand mistakes
to end up in this single heartbreak
and you’re already halfway there
yeah there’s gotta be a million reasons why
you oughta turn your head and walk right by
oh but i know that you don’t care
cuz I know you won’t break her stare

white as a sheet you’re lying quietly tonight
grinding your teeth and trying to push her from your mind
cuz you can’t have her now
but you need to know somehow

you’d have to make a thousand mistakes
to end up in this single heartbreak
and you’re already halfway there
there’s gotta be a million reasons why
you oughta turn your head and walk right by
oh but i know that you don’t care
cuz you won’t break her stare

come on baby, let it pass
come on baby, be sure you ask

could you make a thousand mistakes
to end up in a single heart break?
since you’re already halfway there
there’s gotta be a million reasons why
you oughta turn your head and walk right by
oh but I know that you don’t care
cuz I know you won’t break her stare
