Lyrics Neck Deep – Critical Mistake

«You have sixteen new messages
First new message:
Why do I even bother calling you
It’s been like sixteen times today

I made a critical mistake
In a momentary lapse of judgement
Now you’ve called me up again
To remind me of the ways I’ve fucked up
So then I’ll take all the blame
It all just feels the same
And we move on
Then I screw it up again
Are you noticing a trend
Should I go on?
So I said

I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying abridge the distance
You keep thinking about yourself
It’s the way you want the world to be
It’s the way you want the world to be

I’m the sinner you’re the saint
You will always have your way
Will you let go?
But when a cynic and a snake
Come together it could take a miracle
But it only lasts so long
I know it won’t be long ’till I screw up

I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying abridge the distance
You keep thinking about yourself
It’s the way you want the world to be
It’s the way you want the world to be

And it always seemed too perfect to be true
There’s nothing perfect about me and you
And I tried to see the best
But I saw right through you
And I know I could be better
But you won’t let me forget
That it always seemed so perfect
When I played it in my head

You made a critical mistake
In a momentary lapse of judgement
Now I’m walking out that door
Like all those times before
Guess I fucked up

So I said
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
I keep trying abridge the distance
You’d be thinking about yourself
It’s the way you want the world to be
It’s the way you want the world to be
I could be everything you need
If you could learn to be someone else
