My Mistake

(album: LOVE - 2022)

Kerosene eyes
I saw the future it burned me alive
I broke his heart in one night
And I left Missouri behind

Thought he was the one
Tortured soul in a preacher's son
Yeah he prayed on his knees
He preyed on my need to be a light

Someone's gotta love me not in vain
Somebody's gotta love me just the same
Somebody's gotta love me I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you

Sometimes I forget
It wasn't always so innocent
He put a ring in my hand
I lied when I said
I wouldn't leave

That was years ago
It was always inevitable
Yeah most days he's gone
Some days he comes
And talks to me
To me

Someone's gotta love me not in vain
Somebody's gotta love me just the same
Somebody's gotta love me I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Yeah it took some time
To see the difference
Between him and I
And I'm still not quite sure
Just what I deserve
But someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me I know it's true

Someone's gotta love me
Someone's gotta love me
Somebody's gotta love me I know it's true
My mistake was thinking it was you

Oh oh
Oh oh it's true

My mistake was thinking it was you
