Mistake
The Well Wells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We made a mistake dear bout playing a cheating game
It's all my fault she's wearing your name
He's taking my place where I should be today
We made a mistake dear and now we have to pay

We had a quarrell I said I didn't love you
I called you a cheater and told you we were through
Too late we are sorry we both made sacred vows
There's nothing left between us we can't turn back now
We made a mistake dear...
[ guitar ]
If we could only turn back time I'd have you by my side
If we knew then what we know now we'd never said goodbye
We can't change the wrong we've done the mistake has been made




Now we don't have the right to love that's the price we'll have to pay
We made a mistake dear...
