Mistake of my life

Mistake of my life
Letting you go
The pain still lingers here
More than you'll ever know

Better off without you I thought
Incorrect in the end
Not only did I lose my lover
I lost my best friend

Try to remember the good times
Laughing all through the night
All of that has drifted away
We gave up without a fight

You will stay with me forever
A tattoo across my heart
If only we realised what we had
Right from the very start

I always fear you regret it
The time we had together
I will never regret it
I will treasure it forever

I can see why you want her
Twice as perfect in every way
That doesn't stop the pain inside
It's with me everyday

For now please just remember me
See me from time to time
And I'll just have to wish and pray
That one day you'll be mine
