My Favorite Things
Jack Jezzro And Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's six AM and I'm alone
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
Your friends act sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way
Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
The song "My Favorite Things" by Jack Jezzro and Friends is about heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a relationship, even when you know it's not healthy or good for you. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle in coping with their partner's lack of love and devotion, as well as their own feelings of insecurity and confusion. The line "Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending to the bad day I was just beginning" suggests that the singer may have been struggling with other issues in their life and were hoping for some solace from their relationship, but instead found disappointment.
The second verse adds more context to the situation, with the singer being aware that their partner is seeing someone else and that their friends are trying to sympathize with them but that it's all a game to their partner. The lines "Your friends act sorry for me They watch you pretend to adore me But I'm no fool to this game" convey a sense of bitterness and resentment towards the partner and their friends for playing with the singer's emotions.
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, with the repeated line "When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake." It's clear that the singer acknowledges that the relationship is not healthy or good for them, but they still can't help but feel some affection towards their partner. The bridge of the song offers some ambiguity, with the singer questioning whether or not their feelings are genuine or just a result of their partner's charisma and charm.
Overall, "My Favorite Things" is a somber and reflective song that deals with themes of heartbreak and moving on. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes the people we love and care about are not good for us, and that trying to hold onto them can ultimately end up hurting us even more.
