I found a note on my pillow the day that you left
Told me that I was somebody you'd never forget
Ain't it funny how you
Only held me for a couple nights
Now I'm crying in these hotel lights
Wishing we could take it back in time

I should have begged you to stay
Cancelled my plans we could just run away
You take my hand be my favourite mistake
Drop everything do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, 'cause

I cannot pretend you meant nothing to me
I don't want it to end
(Ah, ah)
If we go separate ways
And I never see you again let me say
You were my favourite mistake

I woke up this morning and I took a walk down the street
I swore I saw your face in a stranger but your miles from me
Your miles from me
It's funny how you
Only held me for a couple nights
Now I'm drowning in these hotel lights
Wishing we could take it back in time
Time

I should have begged you to stay
Cancelled my plans we could just run away
You take my hand be my favourite mistake
Drop everything do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, 'cause

I cannot pretend you meant nothing to me
I don't want it to end
(Ah, ah)
If we go separate ways
And I never see you again let me say
You were my favourite mistake

(Ah, ah)
You were my favourite mistake
(Ah, ah)
You were my favourite mistake

If we cancelled our plans we could just run away
You take my hand be my favourite mistake
Drop everything do whatever it takes
Whatever takes but

I cannot pretend it meant nothing to me
I don't want it to end
If we go separate ways
And I never see you again let me say
You were my favourite mistake
