Critical Mistake

I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement Now you've called me up again to remind me of the ways I've fucked up So then I'll take all the blame It all just feels the same And we move on Then I screw it up again Are you noticing a trend Should I go on? So I said I could be everything you needed You could look to be someone else I could try and abridge the distance You'd be thinking about yourself It's the way you want the world to be It's the way you want the world to be I'm the sinner you're the saint You will always have your way Will you let go? But when a cynic and a snake come together, it could take a miracle But it only lasts so long I know it won't be long 'till I screw up Could we start it all again And go back to when we were both wrong Cause we're both wrong So I said I could be everything you needed You could look to be someone else I could try and abridge the distance You'd be thinking about yourself It's the way you want the world to be It's the way you want the world to be And it always seemed to perfect to be true There's nothing perfect about me and you And I tried to see the best But I saw right through you And I know I could be better But you won't let me forget That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement Now I'm walking out that door Like all the times before Guess I fucked up So I said I could be everything you needed You could look to be someone else I could try and abridge the distance You'd be thinking about yourself It's the way you want the world to be It's the way you want the world to be I could be everything you needed You could look to be someone else
