[Verse 1] I got one wrong, then I got two I thought I knew what I was supposed to do I tried again, I changed my answer Somehow every second guess got worse Red marks bleeding through the page Another number added to the grade I tell myself that I can fix it But every fix becomes another mistake [Pre-Chorus] One little slip One little crack One wrong step And there's no going back [Chorus] Mistake after mistake I keep watching everything break Try to run, try to hide But the numbers never lie Mistake after mistake How much more can I take I keep saying I'll be fine While the clock keeps eating time [Verse 2] I studied late, I missed my sleep I memorized the words I couldn't keep The morning came, I took the test I gave it everything I had left The teacher looks across the room Her footsteps echo through the gloom I hear my name, I hear my chair And suddenly she's standing there [Pre-Chorus] One little slip One little crack One wrong step And there's no going back [Chorus] Mistake after mistake I keep watching everything break Try to run, try to hide But the numbers never lie Mistake after mistake How much more can I take I keep saying I'll be fine While the clock keeps eating time [Bridge] Maybe I should have known Maybe I should have stayed at home Maybe I should have asked for help Before I buried myself Another page Another line Another chance to get it right But every answer that I choose Feels like another way to lose [Break] One Two Three Four How many more Until they come for me? [Final Chorus] Mistake after mistake I keep watching everything break Try to run, try to hide But the numbers never lie Mistake after mistake There is only so much I can take I keep saying I'll be fine While something waits outside [Outro] The bell rings The halls are clear My footsteps disappear One more mistake One more mistake One more mistake
