Jay Parish - My Mistake Lyrics

Just know I take no pride
Being the first romance you tried
Who returned your love with lies
The first real guy you were betrayed by

Just know I take no joy
In making you regret your choice
It's no excuse that I was just a boy
You didn't deserve to have your trust destroyed

Thought I'd get my urges out of my system
But I left your heart without any rhythm
I should've listened
I wanted to try every option before making my decision

And that's my mistake
You had to suffer with my mistakes
If I apologized too late
I still had to try in case

All of it was my mistake
You had to suffer for my mistakes
Your love isn't the type to waste
If I could go back, that's what I would change

Just know I don't deny
I made you tell me goodbye
With nothing to show for how hard you tried
Except for the tears that drowned your eyes

Just know I take the blame
For playing a losing game
Your first love, your worst pain
It sounds worse when I try to explain

Thought I'd get my urges out of my system
But I left your heart without any rhythm
I should've listened
I wanted to try every option before making my decision

And that's my mistake
You had to suffer with my mistakes
If I apologized too late
I still had to try in case

All of it was my mistake
You had to suffer for my mistakes
Your love isn't the type to waste
If I could go back, that's what I would change

You tried to tell me once
But I wasn't wise enough
But I understand you now
I understand you now

You tried to tell me again
But I didn't think that far ahead
But I understand you now
I understand you now

My mistake
You had to suffer with my mistakes
If I apologized too late
I still had to try in case

All of it was my mistake
You had to suffer for my mistakes
Your love isn't the type to waste
If I could go back, that's what I would change
