you’re the best mistake i’ve made
the sweetest penalty i paid
the best nightmare i smiled at
the coldest love i’ve had.

things we said, things we did
i have no regrets at all
that time, i was a little kid
not expecting a painful fall.

each day went by in monochrome
black and white, the feeling of being alone
constantly feeling i’m never enough
and never someone you can’t get enough of.

i didn’t think you’d be so important to me
you were my greatest and that will ever be
and though i was never anything
i knew you were worth it since the very beginning.

looking back at what used to be
i’ve known it all this time, really
it was all loss, and nothing earned
darling, you are a lesson learned.
