I told you I was hurt Bleeding on the inside I told you I was lost In the middle of my life There's times I stayed alive for you There's times I would've died for you There's times it didn't matter at all Will you help me find the right way up Or let me take the wrong way down Will you straighten me out Or make me take the long way around I took the low road in I'll take the high road out I'll do whatever it takes To be the mistake you can't live without Standing in the dark I can see your shadow You're the only light That's breaking through the window There's times I stayed alive for you There's times I would've died for you There's times it didn't matter at all Will you help me find the right way up Or let me take the wrong way down Will you straighten me out Or make me take the long way around I took the low road in I'll take the high road out I'll do whatever it takes To be the mistake you can't live without Well I'm not gonna give it away Not gonna let it go just to wake up someday The worst part is looking back And knowing that I was wrong Will you help me find the right way up Or let me take the wrong way down Will you straighten me out Or make me take the long way around I took the low road in I'll take the high road out I'll do whatever it takes To be the mistake you can't live without I'll do whatever it takes To be the mistake you can't live without
