I forgot your name, brain fog of the past Knew it wouldn’t stay, still tried but didn't last You spoke with fuel, I answered in flame We lit up the dark just to learn its proclaim the mistake I had to make The sweetest fracture, the cleanest break Yeah, you were the risk I couldn’t shake No map, no guardrails, just give and take I lost my way just to awake You were the mistake I had to make Every warning sign felt like a dare Every “don’t go there” pulled to tear Every red flag had a rose to bare Every goodbye felt almost there Every goodbye, now ever so rare. A wrong turn written in deep fate We danced on edges, called it trust Turned gold to glitter, then back to dust Your shadow fit where my light was thin A perfect storm to go all in the mistake I had to make The sweetest fracture, the cleanest break Yeah, you were the risk I couldn’t shake No map, no guardrails, just give and take I lost my way just to awake You were the mistake I had to make Every warning sign felt like a dare Every “don’t go there” pulled to tear Every red flag had a rose to bare Every goodbye felt almost there Every goodbye, now ever so rare. A wrong turn written in deep fate If I could rewind, would I erase? Or press repeat just to feel that taste? Some fires burn just to show the shape Of who we are and who we escape Not every fall is something to fear Some scars just mean you were really here the mistake I had to make The sweetest fracture, the cleanest break Yeah, you were the risk I couldn’t shake No map, no guardrails, just give and take I lost my way just to awake You were the mistake I had to make Every warning sign felt like a dare Every “don’t go there” pulled to tear Every red flag had a rose to bare Every goodbye felt almost there A wrong turn written in deep fate So I’ll thank the flame for the ash it made For the truth that hides in the choices we brave I wouldn’t undo, wouldn’t rearrange You were the mistake that taught me change
