I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my life
.
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all
.
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
.
Standing in the dark
I can see your shadow
You're the only light
That's breaking through the window
.
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all
.
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
.
Well I'm not gonna give it away
Not gonna let it go just to wake up someday

The worst part is looking back
And knowing that I was wrong
.
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straighten me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
.
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
.
