I told you I was hurt

Bleeding on the inside

I told you I was lost

In the middle of my life.

There's times I stayed alive for you

There's times I would've died for you

There's times it didn't matter at all.

Will you help me find the right way up

Or let me take the wrong way down

Will you straighten me out

Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in

I'll take the high road out

I'll do whatever it takes

To be the mistake you can't live without.

Standing in the dark

I can see your shadow

You're the only light

That's breaking through the window.

There's times I stayed alive for you

There's times I would've died for you

There's times it didn't matter at all.

Will you help me find the right way up

Or let me take the wrong way down

Will you straighten me out

Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in

I'll take the high road out

I'll do whatever it takes

To be the mistake you can't live without.

We'll I'm not gonna give it away

Not gonna let it go, just to wake up someday gone! gone!

The worst part is looking back

And knowing that I was wrong.

Help me find the right way up

Or let me take the wrong way down

Will you straighten me out

Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in

I'll take the high road out

I'll do whatever it takes

To be the mistake you can't live without.

I'll do whatever it takes

To be the mistake you can't live without.
