Open up your eyes baby
Let the truth and sun shine in
One day, one day, one day youâll understand
Youâll grow up and youâll see
Thereâs a truth between friends and enemies
And I should have listened to my intuition of the way
When your moves and your moods were saying
They were sayinâ no more, no more, no more, no more
Canât stick around until you take me down
And Iâm alone and dealing
With the confusion that Iâm feeling
I made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
And I, I made the greatest mistake
And still am, still am, still am
I can see clearly
That thereâs no love lost between us
Misguided, lost child I pray, I pray for you
I hope that your lies can keep you warm
Oh if I, I could rewind the time
And keep those records playinâ, playinâ, playin'
I say play on, play on, play on, play on
About the love we never left behind
Forget about the broken hearted
We got to pick up where we started
I made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
And I, I made the greatest mistake
And still am, still am, still am
Wish I read the writing on the wall we made around us now baby
Mistakes can turn your world go round and build it up and tear it down baby
I made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
I made the greatest mistake of my life
Make the greatest mistake
And itâs still there, still there, still there
I made the greatest mistake of my life
I never should have let you get away baby
I made the greatest mistake of my life
Make the greatest mistake
And youâre the real thing, the real thing
Still am
I made the greatest mistake of my life
When I let you get away baby
