I woke up and called this morning 
The tone of your voice was a warning 
That you don't care for me anymore 
I made up the bed we sleep in 
I looked at the clock when you creep in 
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone 
[Chorus:] 
Did you know when you go 
It's the perfect ending 
To the bad day I was just beginning 
When you go all I know is 
You're my favorite mistake 
Your friends are sorry for me 
They watch you pretend to adore me 
But I'm no fool to this game 
Now here comes your secret lover 
She'd be unlike any other 
Until your guilt goes up in flames 
[Chorus:] 
Did you know when you go 
It's the perfect ending 
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending 
When you go all I know is 
You're my favorite mistake 
You're my favorite mistake 
Well maybe nothin' lasts forever 
Even when you stay together 
I don't need forever after 
It's your laughter won't let me go 
So I'm holding on this way 
Did you know, could you tell 
You were the only one 
That I ever loved 
Now everything's so wrong 
Did you see me walking by? 
Did it ever make you cry? 
You're my favorite mistake 
You're my favorite mistake 
You're my favorite mistake
