Devon Halliday - My Only Mistake

Blame it on your father
Something in the water
If I'm honest, I find truth a non-starter
But my white lies are getting darker

It's the dollar store confetti
It's this fucking city
We missed the rapture, babe, we just weren't ready
Now we sit around regretting

The grass got greener once again
But if you keep on crossing that bridge is gonna break
And I keep on making my only mistake

It's the unrelenting weather
Too much time together
For a second I thought things were getting better
But you're too fucked up, and I'm too clever

Blame it on me baby
Lover please forsake me
I won't fix it and you know you can't make me
I've been digging deeper lately

We missed the high road once again
But if you keep on crossing that bridge is gonna break
And I keep on making my only mistake
Yes I keep on making my only mistake

Out on the fire escape, I watched my getaway car drive
Some other passenger into the same polluted sunset we faced off against
I couldn't look away till you did
Faceless in the sudden dark
"I thought things were already hard enough," you said
And you stretched your hand across the bridge

The grass is greener there I guess
But if you keep on crossing that bridge is gonna break
And if you keep complaining your friends are gonna flake
And if you keep on drinking your thirst will never slake
And if you keep on poking that dragon's gonna wake
And if you keep on checking that pie will never bake
And if you keep on asking my words will just sound fake
And if you keep adjusting that noose will never take

Because I keep on making my only mistake
Yes I keep on making my only mistake
