My Mistake (Was To Love You)

[Chorus] My mistake was to love you, girl Love you, girl My mistake was to give you all Tell the world [Verse 1] First I had you In the palm of my hand But I let you slip through Like rain to sand At the beginning When I didn't care Like my own reflection You were always there [Chorus] [Verse 2] You were sweeter Then my very own skin But what did I do for you Not a thing In front of my friends You broke me down Since then darling It's hard to track you down [Chorus] [Verse 3] Many a smile You put on any face But I paid dearly With the tears I taste My tenderness Made you cold, not sweet Because if a girl loves you You only call her weak [Chorus] [x2]
