Lyrics

Mistake

Look there, who's the boy with the dirty hair and pretty features?
Contraire to the voices here
I don't care what they are thinking
I've met a million people like you
Unfair, and full of mixer
Don't stare but if you want it to
Last longer, you should take a picture

I can read you like a book
Acting like you think you should
I just wanna shake you up
I just wanna say

What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake

Look there, who's the girl with the shaggy hair and boyish features?
Who cares? You're beauty standards
Are love affairs with altered images
Impair but is irrational
Your fear for what is different
You're scared to be yourself
In case someone treats you like you treat them

I can read you like a book
Acting like you think you should
I just wanna shake you up
I just wanna say

What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake

I know I am me, the only one
I don't want to be another one
I know I am me, the only one
I don't want to be another one

I can read you like a book
Acting like you think you should
I just wanna shake you up
I just wanna say

What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
What an awful mistake
