Mistake Lyrics
Now that I'm thinking sober
Don't you try to get no closer
I'm just gonna get in my car and drive, and drive
Looking in the rearview mirror
Everything is so much clearer
Watch me wave it all goodbye, goodbye
The light's flashing, giving me all the danger signs
Someone to save, to save
But it don't work that way
Think you made your greatest mistake
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake
When the last straw is broken
When the last door is closing
I ain't that dumb to stick around, stick around
I ain't got the time for looking back
Went and let yourself slip through the cracks
And you just keep going down, down, down
I'mma stay undercover
Lay low; need some time
No one to save, to save
This sick cycle's over, babe
Think you made your greatest mistake
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake
Why you lookin' at me, spittin' the same old line?
Tryin' to creep back
Ain't no flippin' my mind
Don't you get it by now?
The story's over, over
Still callin' my name outside my house
I'm hittin' the switch
Watch the lights go out
Watch the lights go out
I hope you ache, oh, oh
I hope you ache, oh, oh
Think you made your greatest mistake
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake
Don't you try to get no closer
I'm just gonna get in my car and drive, and drive
Looking in the rearview mirror
Everything is so much clearer
Watch me wave it all goodbye, goodbye
Someone to save, to save
But it don't work that way
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake
When the last door is closing
I ain't that dumb to stick around, stick around
I ain't got the time for looking back
Went and let yourself slip through the cracks
And you just keep going down, down, down
Lay low; need some time
No one to save, to save
This sick cycle's over, babe
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake
Tryin' to creep back
Ain't no flippin' my mind
Don't you get it by now?
The story's over, over
Still callin' my name outside my house
I'm hittin' the switch
Watch the lights go out
Watch the lights go out
I hope you ache, oh, oh
I'm not gonna call this a break
Think you really blew it this time
Think you could walk on such a thin line
Won't be taking your midnight calls
Ignoring the rocks you throw at my wall
I see it written in your face
You know you made it
Your greatest mistake

I cant believe im the first to comment on this song. I love this song, i think the lyrics speak for themselves =)
I think the song speaks for itself. It is clear that he/she has gone to a relationship and had a couple of "breaks." The narrator states that he or she's "not gonna call this a break." Other than that, the narrator has had it. To a point where she/he wishes that the person aches.
