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 you creep in
  It's 6 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
    Your friends are sorry for me
  They watch you pretend to adore me
  But I'm no fool to this game
    Now here comes your secret lover
  She'd be unlike any other
  Until your guilt goes up in flames
    [Chorus]
    You're my favorite mistake
    Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
  Even when you stay together
  I don't need forever after
  It's 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
  That I ever loved
  Now everything's so wrong
    Did you see me walking by?
  Did it ever make you cry?
    You're my favorite mistake
  You're my favorite mistake
  You're my favorite mistake
