Best Mistake
Same Difference Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is never said in vain
Every love leaves a mark even right at the start
So it's never a game
Ah, ooh
I had given you everything
The world became so small
But the lesson I learned
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
You kept down all the things that you once said
Made you notice me
Tried to hide any light that I had
So that others could not see
Ah, ooh now I'm shining, I burst with light
And I I'm there for all to see
When you hold too tight you lose the fight
You were the making of me
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
It took time to realize
I'm more than part of you
And I would only find myself
The day I cut you loose
You were the making of me
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
You had to go, go, go so that I could see
That I had so, so, so much more belief
And now I know, know, know
You're the best mistake I ever made
The best mistake I've made
Now I'm shining, I burst with light
And I I'm there for all to see
You were the making of me

Line by Line Meaning
Every word when in love ever spoken
Every word spoken in love holds value and meaning
Is never said in vain
Words spoken in love are never meaningless or empty
Every love leaves a mark even right at the start
Every love relationship has an impact, even from its beginning
So it's never a game
Love should not be treated as a game, but with sincerity
You're the best mistake I ever made
Despite being a mistake, you helped me grow and realize my true worth
It took time to realize
Realization and understanding didn't happen instantly
I'm more than part of you
I am an individual separate from you
The day I cut you loose
Letting go of you was necessary for my personal growth
Now I'm shining, I burst with light
I have found my confidence and stand out brightly
You were the making of me
You played a significant role in shaping who I am
