[Verse 1]
A perfect picture of embarrassment steadying my shaking hands
Wrapped around a glass again and look at me now
I am choking on my medicine, same pills by my father's bed
Now I need them too, come to think of it
I can't think of anyone that doesn't use

[Pre-Chorus]
There's something in the water, something swimming in my drink
There is plastic in our oceans, there is plastic in my dreams
I'm a fading belle in the harshest light
Clawing at the sky as all your stars hang over me tonight

[Chorus]
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To love you in such an ugly kind of way
Yeah it was an honеst mistake
To believе a single word that you'd say

[Verse 2]
I wish you'd deal your words more carefully
Can't you see that I'm down and out? I appreciate the honesty
But my whole world is fingernails clinging to your balcony
I wish your words didn't hurt, but they do
I wish I wasn't quite so frightened of the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
There's something in the water, something swimming in my drink
There is plastic in our oceans, there is plastic in my dreams
I'm a fading belle in the harshest light
Clawing at the sky as all your stars hang over me tonight

[Chorus]
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To love you in such an ugly kind of way
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To believe a single word that you'd say

[Bridge]
It's a crying shame with no words left to say
We've been looking for anything to lead us back
But you can't hear my side, I can't read your mind
I'm clinging on to a memory if that's all that we have
Then that's a hell of a waste as we fall from grace
All tangled up in honest mistakes

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To love you in such an ugly kind of way
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To believe a single word that you'd say
Yeah, it was an honest mistake
To love you in such an ugly kind of way
