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 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 Then 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
