Critical Mistake

You have sixteen new messages
First new message
Why do I even bother calling you
It's been like sixteen times today
I know you've seen the line
So stop ignoring me!

I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now you've called me up again to remind me of the ways I've fucked up
So then I'll just take all the blame
It all just feels the same
And we move on
Then I screw it up again
Are you noticing a trend
Should I go on?
So I said

I could be everything you needed
You could look to be someone else
I could try and abridge the distance
You'd be thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be

I'm the sinner you're the saint
You will always have your way
Will you let go?
But when a cynic and a snake come together
It could take a miracle
But it only lasts so long
I know it won't be long 'till I screw up
Could we start it all again
And go back to when we were both wrong
'Cause we're both wrong
So I said

I could be everything you needed
You could look to be someone else
I could try and abridge the distance
You'd be thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be

And it always seemed to perfect to be true
There's nothing perfect about me and you
And I tried to be the best
But I saw right through you
And I know I could be better
But you won't let me forget
That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head

You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Now I'm walking out that door
Like all the times before
Guess I fucked up
So I said

I could be everything you ever needed
You could look to be someone else
I could try and abridge the distance
You'd be thinking about yourself
It's the way you want the world to be
It's the way you want the world to be
I could be everything you ever needed
You could look to be someone else
