Count the Mistakes Lyrics

I want you to listen very closely to what I'm going to play

Tell me when you hear how all the sound's in disarray

When I mess it up completely and start to improvise

I can't hit all the right notes when I look into your eyes

You're not singing along—do I fail to amuse?

How, when this is the life I choose?

Look at me when I'm playing, and count the mistakes

When I make a mistake, it's for you

You are the excuse for my errors, you disrupt my routine

If I can't put on a show then I don't deserve to be seen

You only came running when you had a reason to attend

Maybe you were just looking for a lover, a friend

You're not singing along—do I fail to amuse?

You're thinking how, when this is the life I choose?

Look at me when I'm playing, and count the mistakes

When I make a mistake, it's for you
