I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my lifeThere's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at allWill 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 withoutStanding in the dark
I can see your shadow
You're the only light
That's breaking through the windowThere's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would've died for you
There's times it didn't matter at allWill 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 withoutWe'll I'm not gonna give it away
Not gonna let it go, just to wake up someday gone! Gone!
The worst part is looking back
And knowing that I was wrongHelp 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 withoutI'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
