Mistakes Were Made Lyrics

You drive in silence

On autopilot

Ten and two at the wheel

You said just last night

There's not a next time

Not gonna die on that hill

But you're not sober and you're not thinking straight

And you don't want to make it into something it's not

And meanwhile everybody's thinking that you're better this way

With pretty hate machine echoing all of your thoughts

On your way home

Allie, are you laughing at my expense

Talking shit with your friends

In my defense I didn't know you'd be here using all the air in the room

So Allie, I'll leave soon

Trying not to look and trying and not to react

But only three drinks in you're making eye contact

And if it happens in a blur well then it's all just a dream

So Allie don't blame me

The crowds impatient

Disintegration

Your friends are pissed that I'm there

Be we're ok when

The music kicks in

The smell of cloves in the air

And we go over and over again

And my conscience throws fits but I bind it with knots

So we step over all the mines that we buried ourselves

Like we're defectors giving up on the things that we fought

For so long

Allie, are you laughing at my expense

Talking shit with your friends

In my defense I didn't know you'd be here using all the air in the room

So Allie, I'll leave soon

You swore it's all too much but it was never enough

It's like an old keepsake that you just can't let go of

I didn't mean to hurt you

That was always a lie

Oh Allie this is the last time

In hindsight, I'd blame the summer

Those old regrets would burn away

A dull ache the night would conjure

I admit mistakes were made

Allie it's over

Allie it's over

Allie it's over

Allie come over

Allie it's over

Allie it's over

Allie it's over

Allie come over

Allie, are you laughing at my expense

Talking shit with your friends

In my defense I didn't know you'd be here using all the air in the room

So Allie, I'll leave soon

Trying not to look and trying and not to react

But only three drinks in you're making eye contact

And if it happens in a blur well then it's all just a dream

So Allie don't blame me
