Best Worst Mistake

You can guard your heart forever

Keep it safe and keep it sound

But love won't feel so heavy

If you spread that shit around

What is it that you're afraid of?

Being hurt? Let down? Destroyed?

Well you know it all can happen

And there's more you can't avoid

You're a diehard, you're a radical

A fighter through and through

So tell me why you're so afraid of

A cause that's new

And true

Like me and you?

So man up

Break out

Dive in

There's no knowing how it ends

Until you gut up and begin

Climb in

Breathe deep

Hold on

You can't know how good it gets

'Til you go or 'til it's gone

Be lost

Be wary

Be afraid

But don't hide out in the dugout

While that final game is played

Make that trade

I'll be the best worst mistake you ever made

Really? Sports metaphors?

Really

It's not that I don't love you,

'cause I don't not love you

And I'd lie to say I'm never sometimes always thinking of you

But when something's deeply felt,

it seems shallow just to say

The thing that's expected,

the same dull cliche

Like you're so sweet, you're so fine

(so it's scarifying, terrifying, and you're panicked, in a sweat)

You're the one

(it's the nightmare of all nightmares, and)

Please be mine

(the best you'll ever get)

('cause you're in love)

Love is neat

(love's a bitch)

Love is nice

(love's a queen)

Let it go

(Love's a witch)

Pay that price

(Love is joy)

Love is true

(Love's a boy)

Who loves you

(I love you)

I love you

(I love you)

I love you

(For all time)

For all time

For all time (For all time)

You tricked me into saying that

It's too late

It's done

You're through

'Cause I said it

And you said it

And I know you meant it, too

So man up

Man up

Break out

Break out

Dive in

There's no knowing how it ends until at last we both begin

We're lost

We're lonely

We're afraid

But the sun will still be shining

When we come out of the shade

And promenade

(I'll be the best worst mistake)

Best worst mistake

(You ever made)

(I'll be the best worst mistake)

Best worst mistake

(You ever made)

Best worst mistake

(I'll be the best worst mistake)

You ever made!

(You ever made!)
