My Favorite Mistake
Sheryl Crow

I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you dont care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
Its 6 a.m. and Im alone
Did you know when you go
Its the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
Youre my favorite mistake

Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But Im no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
Shed be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames
Did you know when you go
Its the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
Youre my favorite mistake
Youre my favorite mistake
Well maybe nothin lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I dont need forever after
Its your laughter wont let me go
So Im holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everythings so wrong

Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?
Youre my favorite mistake
Youre my favorite mistake
Youre my favorite mistake
