My Favorite Mistake Lyrics
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
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone
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
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames
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
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong
Did it ever make you cry?
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

my favorite mistake isn't the same circumstances as this song, but he's still my favorite.
Its a relationship that was a mistake, but you would do it all over again. Because although they could miss the bad parts...they would miss the good parts, too.
I can relate..
So this song is about her relationship with Eric Clapton - weird, huh? Atleast that's what I've heard. She wrote it after they broke up.
I think that everyone in their life has a favorite mistake, I know I do. We had an amazing time together, but in the end I knew that it was all a mistake. We had a wonderful time together, and I think that I was actually in love with him at the time...but it's all gone now - I guess I miss him. sigh I haven't had a decent relationship since then. I'm so pathetic

@Tuesdayz_gone Pathetic is way to harsh. Be kind to yourself. Btw you are not alone. If love was logical, it wouldn’t be worth a candle.

wow...I totally repeated myself there...amazing, wonderful...it all means the same thing. I must be dumb. But honestly, that's how I feel...I just had to repeat myself because I can't read. Ugh...
i love the words to this song. i guess i've had several favourite mistakes in my life so far. i guess it's about loving someone but knowing they don't love you back. yet you keep going back to that person and being used by them. oh dear....
I love those 'favourite mistakes' in my life. Even though I might look back now and say "never again" they were fun while they lasted. No regrets!
I have one favorite mistake but just recently she's turned into a real bitch. Not to me but to others. After telling other people what I thought they all said "didn't you know?" I just never saw the selfish and jealous side of her personality until we stopped dating and I stopped liking her. It's a shame because I have a few great memories of her and now they're tainted by her actions of the past few weeks. I try to remember the good times and how I felt and I know that it was a mistake, but of all the mistakes I've made, she's my favourite.
I just like this song. I can't really relate right now, but I like it.
I love this song. One of my ex's sent the lyrics to me when we broke up. There was like an unspoken happiness/sadness to the whole deal.
sheryl crow is so talented. she has a great voice, good writing, and is good at guitar. shes been around for a long time, and her music never relaly gets old, kuz its not trendy stuff, its just flat out good. this is one of my favorite songs by her. has been for years.
