[Verse 1]
I've been this way for a while
And people pass by
And I see it's already midnight
I'm asking why
And wondering how
But your mouth stays shut like always
It all gets dark
It all gets wild
And I'm trying to grab onto something
With no one left
Not a single friend
And your eyes they close like always

[Chorus]
I know you want me to make a mistake
I know you want me to be a mistake

[Verse 2]
Being alone for a while
It teaches you how
You can bear that kind of silence
An empty house, a broken-down car
And my heart it can't feel a thing
I'm scared I will die
From a normal life
When your arms are strong
But don't hold me
My days are full
'Cause I'm growing old
And your hands they die like always
[Chorus]
I know you want me to make a mistake
I know you want me to be a mistake
I know you want me to make a mistake
I know you want me to be a mistake

[Bridge]
Why you got to go and break my heart like that?
Why you got to go and break my heart like that?
Why you got to go and break my heart like that?
Why you got to go and break my heart like that?

[Chorus]
I know you want me to make a mistake
I know you want me to be a mistake
I know you want me to make a mistake
I know you want me to be a mistake
