My mistake

Yeah, I heard you’re back at it again—

Same old story, different end—

I slowed it down, you played pretend—

You crossed the line, then got with my friends—

I gave you trust, you let it break—

I gave you love, you let it fade—

I saw it all, I just stayed—

Yeah… that was my mistake—

⸻

[PRE-CHORUS] (builds emotion)

You said forever like you meant it—

Now it’s just a word you wasted—

⸻

[CHORUS] (big, anthemic)

Loving you was my mistake—

But I’m the one who walked away—

You tried to pull me down with you—

I rose above what you put me through—

Now I’m everything you couldn’t break—

Yeah, loving you was my mistake—

⸻

You got loud, tried to tear me down—

Threw my name all over town—

But every word just lost its sound—

Didn’t hit, didn’t stick around—

You went cold, I went clear—

Now I see what brought me here—

No more doubt, no more fear—

I’m not who I was last year—

⸻

You still act like I don’t see it—

But I’m done trying to believe it—

⸻

Loving you was my mistake—

But I’m the one who walked away—

You tried to pull me down with you—

I rose above what you put me through—

Now I’m everything you couldn’t break—

Yeah, loving you was my mistake—

⸻

[BRIDGE] (quiet → explosive)

A year goes by, now you look my way—

Like you got something left to say—

I don’t hate you, I just changed—

And I won’t go back the same—

⸻

Loving you was my mistake—

But I turned that into my escape—

You tried to pull me down with you—

Now I’m higher than I ever knew—

Now I’m everything you couldn’t break—

Yeah, loving you was my mistake—
