Best Worst Mistake

Blowing off the dust

From a jar of plastic flowers

In a motel called The Lover’s Hideaway

I’m holdin’ a T-shirt

And a box fuzzy pictures

Reminding myself why I couldn’t stay

I met it with indifference

But now I need deliverance

Cause I still think about it everyday

And I’m here feelin hollow

It’s the hardest pill to swallow

Devoted to my best worst mistake

Overlooked my apathy

It didn’t make me happy

Now I can’t tell the truth, from telling lies

Running for the fire

Poisoning the water

Disregarding damage to my mind

A kind of scarlet letter

I thought love would make it better

Cause when it’s good, it’s the only drug I crave

And I get sentimental

But it’s more than I can handle

It’s nothing but my best worst mistake

Chasing apparitions

But I don’t fear conviction

Or voices of a hunger I can’t shake

Takes more than good intentions

To make it till the morning

With nothing but my best worst mistake

Devoted to my best worst mistake
