Best Mistake
Same Difference Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every word when in love ever spoken
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
Is how to catch myself when I fall so
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
