The room gets cold as she slowly paces back and forth
She says, "What have I done now?
It was a time well spent." Did she really mean it when she said
"It's all a game we're playing, all of the words we say"?

I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
And the love that you give's not the love that you take
I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take

And I should've known better than to believe
In someone I couldn't trust I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how it has to be

Stood like an empty shell fighting off the shakes
She goes on, baby, livin' it up
Pleased to meet yourself. It's been longer than enough
It's all a game we're playing, all of the words we fake

I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take

And I should've known better than to believe
In someone I couldn't trust I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how it has to be
And I should've known better than to believe
In someone I couldn't trust I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how it has to be

I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take
I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take
I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love that you take
I guess in a way you were an honest mistake
When the love that you give's not the love

This is how it has to be
This is how it has to be

And I should've known better than to believe
In someone I couldn't trust I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how it has to be
And I should've known better than to believe
In someone I couldn't trust I just got caught up in lies
I always knew that you would be the one to leave
I guess this is how it has to be
