My Mistake

by Yanique   Jul 3, 2008


You're trying to play a game,
I don't want to play,
Because I like you and it's not fair.
The feelings I carry for you,
Are the reason for my tears,
The reason I avoid you sometimes,
The reason I wish you were laying next to me.

You confuse me,
One day you like me,
And don't want to be "just friends",
Another you're telling me about other girls,
And how much you rate your ex-girlfriend.
I can't believe I'm catching feelings,
When I tell myself I know how and who you are.
7 years babe,
And you still treat me like a random girl,
My heart is full and you just exhaust me.

You know all I've been through,
Didn't think you'd want me to hurt anymore.
Feels like you like the chase,
Just the chase and not the girl.
Everyday I say I'm done,
Then you call and say, "What's up?"
And your voice melts me.
Truth is, I love waking up to your voice,
Love the way it makes me feel,
Love the lazy smile and stretch it emits.

Never been shy about expressing my feelings,
So here goes.
Hurts being alone on friday nights
When I want to be with you.
I don't think I'm asking for much,
Maybe I'm not the girl you want though.
Can't hate you for that,
But I can hate a liar.
We can be just friends,
But I'll need some time to shake this,
Some time to lose these stupid feelings,
Time to let you go.
Because I should have known better,
Should have listened to my friends,
Shouldn't have gotten caught up
...My mistake.
