Open up your eyes baby
Let the truth and sun shine in
One day, one day, one day you'll understand
You'll grow up and you'll see
There's a truth between friends and enemiesAnd I should have listened to my intuition of the way
When your moves and your moods were saying
They were sayin' no more, no more, no more, no more
Can't stick around until you take me down
And I'm alone and dealing
With the confusion that I'm feelingI made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
And I, I made the greatest mistake
And still am, still am, still amI can see clearly
That there's no love lost between us
Misguided, lost child I pray, I pray for you
I hope that your lies can keep you warmOh if I, I could rewind the time
And keep those records playin', playin', playin'
I say play on, play on, play on, play on
About the love we never left behind
Forget about the broken hearted
We got to pick up where we startedI made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
And I, I made the greatest mistake
And still am, still am, still amWish I read the writing on the wall we made around us now baby
Mistakes can turn your world go round and build it up and tear it down babyI made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
I made the greatest mistake of my life
Make the greatest mistake
And it's still there, still there, still thereI made the greatest mistake of my life
I never should have let you get away baby
I made the greatest mistake of my life
Make the greatest mistake
And you're the real thing, the real thingStill amI made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
