One Big Mistake

When you pressed your lips to mine
And I didn’t feel the spark
I should’ve known at that moment
That you weren’t the man in my heart

But I held your hand and smiled
And pretended to fall for you
I knew in the end it end wouldn’t last
And this love charade couldn’t continue

Maybe I did to feel loved
Or maybe it was just for fun
But as you grew attached I backed away
I knew in the beginning we were done

I really wanted to like you more
But my feelings never grew
When you told me how much you cared
I knew to my heart I had to be true

You were just damn persistent
And I felt safe in your love
I knew you would never leave me
But I had to go and rise above

Maybe I did to feel loved
Or maybe it was just for fun
But as you grew attached I backed away
I knew in the beginning we were done

So I had to break it off
I can’t say I wasn’t thrilled
To be free from your thoughtful words
But you looked like you’d been killed
You got what you wanted
I don’t see why you care
Now every time I’m in the room
I feel your longing stare

I wish that I could take it back
We were always better friends
But that friendship is shot
Though I know you hurt at the end

Maybe I did to feel loved
Or maybe it was just for fun
But as you grew attached I backed away
I knew in the beginning we were done
