Best Mistake
Ariana Grande Lyrics

How soon do we forget, how we felt?
We tend to forget our feelings and emotions quickly.

Dealing with emotions, that never left
We are struggling with emotions that we never really addressed or solved.

Playing with the hand that we were dealt, in this game
We are making the best of what we have been given in this situation.

Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saint
I might be the one at fault, and you are the innocent one in this situation.

Gotta stop pretending, what we ain't
We need to stop pretending to be something we are not.

Why we pointing fingers, anyway?
Why are we blaming each other for things that may not be anyone's fault?

When we're the same
When we are both in this together.

Break up
Ending a relationship.

Make up
Getting back together after a fight.

Total waste of time
The cycle of breaking up and making up is not productive or helpful.

Can we please make up our minds
We need to decide if we want to be together or not and stick with that decision.

And stop acting like we're blind?
We need to stop ignoring the problems in our relationship and address them.

'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Even in the worst-case scenario, when everything seems bleak, I'll still love you.

Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy
Even when everything else is falling apart, I'll still be here for you.

You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you
I'll always love you, and my love will always be there for you.

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
Even though we may have made mistakes in our relationship, you are still the best thing that ever happened to me.

But we hold on, hold on
We are holding on to each other and our relationship, even when it's hard.

There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
We may be chasing things that are not really attainable or worthwhile.

I guess time's wasting, tick tocking, lip locking
Time is running out, and we need to make a decision about our relationship.

How can we keep the feelings fresh, how do we zip lock it?
How do we keep our love and feelings for each other from fading or going stale?

Wear your heart up on your sleeves so watch out for pickpockets
Be open about your emotions and feelings, but be careful who you share them with.

I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it
To make our relationship last, we may need to take a pause or break and address our issues.

I know love could be a beach with no shore
Love can be endless and infinite, with no limits or boundaries.

I done count to ten, lost my temper, and went back to four
I am trying to control my emotions and not let anger get in the way of our relationship.

I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need
I know it can be difficult to acknowledge that I am the one you need in your life.

I had a dream we branched out started a family tree
I envision a future with you, where we start a family and build a life together.

And I feel like that everything we do is overdue
It feels like we have been together for so long, and there is nothing either of us can do to change that.

You ask why I love your mom so much 'cause she's a older you
I love your mother because she reminds me of you and all the good things about you.

I wish that you were happy I guess that's the one thing I should be providing
My main goal is to make you happy, and I am hoping I can do that for you.

Ain't no number twos, we both ones of ones and we the oddest couple only humans 'cept you, you a goddess
We are both unique and special in our own ways, and together we make an odd but perfect match. And you, in particular, are a goddess to me.

Only lying to you when I lie you down, just being honest
The only time I'm not completely honest with you is in the bedroom when I'm trying to be romantic or make love to you.

When you start as friends it's hard to say you're never going back
It's difficult to turn back from a relationship that started from a strong friendship.

If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had
If I'm not the right person for you, at least I was the best mistake you ever made.
