Big Mistake
Natalie Imbruglia Lyrics

There's no sign on the gate
There is no clear indication of what is going on or what is expected.

and there's mud on your face
You've been involved in something you shouldn't have or made a mistake.

Don't ya think it's time we re-investigate this situation?
Maybe we should take a step back and figure out what is really going on here.

Put some fruit on your plate
Take care of yourself and your needs.

You've forgotten how it started.
You're not even sure what this situation is about anymore.

Close your eyes
Take a moment to think and reflect.

think of all the bubbles of love we made,
Remember the good times and how things used to be.

and you're down on your knees
You've hit rock bottom and are desperate.

it's too late.
It's too late to fix things or go back to how they were.

Oh don't come crawlin'
Don't come back begging or asking for forgiveness.

and you lie by my feet.
You're trying to get back in my good graces but it's not happening.

what a big mistake.
This whole situation was a mistake and it's caused a lot of pain and heartache.

I see you fallin'
I can see you're struggling or failing.

got a buzz in my head
I'm feeling uneasy or unsure about what's going on.

and my flowers are dead.
Even my plants can sense that something is not right here.

Can't figure out a way to rectify this situation.
I don't know how to fix this mess or make things right.

I don't believe what you said
I don't trust you and your words anymore.

you forgotten how it started
You're just as confused and lost as I am.

Close your eyes
Take a moment to think and reflect.

think of all the bubbles of love we made
Remember the good times and how things used to be.

and you're down on your knees
You've hit rock bottom and are desperate.

it's too late.
It's too late to fix things or go back to how they were.

Oh don't come crawlin'
Don't come back begging or asking for forgiveness.

and you lie by my feet.
You're trying to get back in my good graces but it's not happening.

what a big mistake.
This whole situation was a mistake and it's caused a lot of pain and heartache.

I see you fallin'
I can see you're struggling or failing.

I could sting like a bee.
I'm not going to take this lying down or let you hurt me again.

Careful how you treat me
Be mindful of your actions and how they affect me.

baby I don't think I'll accept your sorry invitation.
I'm not interested in your apologies or attempts to make things right.

Close the door as you leave
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

and you cry over me.
It's too late and you realize you've lost me.

I can't wait.
I'm eager to move on and leave this situation behind.

I feel you stallin'
You're hesitating or trying to hold on to something that's already gone.

and you try to reach me.
You're trying to contact me or get through to me but it's not working.

What a big mistake.
This whole situation was a mistake and it's caused a lot of pain and heartache.

I hear you calling.
You're still trying to get my attention and get me to come back.
