Honest Mistake

A perfect picture of embarrassment

Steadying my shaking hands

Wrapped around a glass again

And look at me now

I am choking on my medicine

Same pills by my father's bed

Now I need them too

Come to think of it

I can't think of anyone that doesn't use

There's something in the water

Something swimming in my drink

There is plastic in our oceans

There is plastic in my dreams

I'm a fading belle

In the harshest light

Clawing at the sky

As all your stars hang over me tonight

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To love you in such an ugly kind of way

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To believe a single word that you'd say

I wish you'd deal your words more carefully

Can't you see that I'm down and out?

I appreciate the honesty

But my whole world is fingernails clinging to your balcony

I wish your words didn't hurt but they do

I wish I wasn't quite so frightened of the truth

There's something in the water

Something swimming in my drink

There is plastic in our oceans

There is plastic in my dreams

I'm a fading belle

In the harshest light

I'm clawing at the sky

As all your stars hang over me tonight

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To love you in such an ugly kind of way

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To believe a single word that you'd say

It's a crying shame

With no words left to say

We've been looking for anything to lead us back

But you can't hear my side

I can't read your mind

I'm clinging on to a memory

If that's all that we have

That's a hell of a waste

As we fall from grace

All tangled up in honest mistakes

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To love you in such an ugly kind of way

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To believe a single word that you'd say

Yeah, it was an honest mistake

To love you in such an ugly kind of way
