My Mistake

INTRO I thought I knew what I had… Till I didn’t anymore VERSE 1 I was acting like time was endless Like love don’t ever expire She gave me grace every morning I kept playing with fire I got comfortable being chosen Started treating heaven casual Now I’m staring at an empty side of the bed Missing what was natural I confused pride for confidence Silence for being strong Didn’t hear her crying next to me Till the feeling was gone Now every room feel smaller Every win feel fake I was holding something sacred Didn’t know the weight PRE-CHORUS I had a gift I didn’t protect I had a heart I didn’t respect I keep asking myself at night Why I ain’t fight when it mattered most CHORUS – GROUP I walked away from something holy I let my ego talk for me God, I know I fumbled what you gave If you ever bless me twice, I won’t let it go I was blind when I had it all I was blind when I had it all Now I’m praying just to feel her call If it’s written for me to come back home Please don’t let my mistake be final VERSE 2 Called my mama late night crying She said baby breathe first Said love don’t leave forever What’s real just gets hurt She said if it’s meant for you It’ll circle back around But you gotta fix the man in the mirror Before you reach back out She said don’t beg God out of guilt Talk to Him with truth Growth ain’t proving you deserve it It’s becoming someone new So I’m learning how to listen Instead of needing control Trying to heal the parts of me That kept hurting her soul PRE-CHORUS If I ever get that chance again I’ll love her like it’s my last No more halfway apologies No more living in the past CHORUS – GROUP I walked away from something holy I let my ego talk for me God, I know I fumbled what you gave If you ever bless me twice, I won’t let it go I was blind when I had it all Now I’m praying just to feel her call If it’s written for me to come back home Please don’t let my mistake be final BRIDGE – GROUP If loving her again is not my road Teach me how to walk alone with grace But if mercy still got my name attached I’ll cherish every moment I get back FINAL CHORUS – GROUP I walked away from something holy I learned the cost the hard way God, if she’s still meant for me I’ll protect that love completely If she never comes back to me I’ll still thank You for what she showed me Either way I’m fixing everything inside So I never lose a blessing twice OUTRO
