[Verse 1]
I told you I was hurt, bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost in the middle of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all

[Chorus]
Will you help me find the right way up?
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straighten me out?
Or make me take the long way around?
I took a low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without

[Verse 2]
Standing in the dark, I can see your shadow
You're the only light that's breaking through the window

[Pre-Chorus]
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all
[Chorus]
Will you help me find the right way up?
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straighten me out?
Or make me take the long way around?
I took a low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without

[Bridge]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm not gonna give it away, not gonna let it go
Just to wake up someday gone, gone
The worst part is looking back and knowing that I was wrong

[Chorus]
Help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you straighten me out?
Or make me take the long way around?
I took a low road in, I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without
