Jesse McCartney - Mistake Lyrics

Used to be the richest
But I didn't pay attention
Messed around and maxed out of love
So now my hearts empty

I used to wake up daily
In the arms of a blessing
Couldn't see what was right in front of me
It taught me a lesson

Went around here hittin' these clubs
Throwing up money, picking up girls
Bring 'em back to the house on the hill
Two at a time, pop 'em like pills

When my prize was sittin' at home
Waiting for me all along
Never thought that one day I'd come home
And she'd be gone

She was the one that got away
The one I regret, my biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now, she's Miss. mistake

She should've been my Mrs.
Don't wanna move on
But I know that she has
Now every other I compare to her

She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. mistake
She should've been my Mrs.

I'm not asking for what we had before
Took my loss like a man
It's over now I understand
Oh, I messed up what we had
Oh, could've been the mother of my kids

Oh, I knew just what I did
Now I gotta live with it

You really didn't take that long
The lies got old, the bed got cold
Shut her heart up, closed the door
Told me no, not no more

So I gotta respect her wishes
She deserves more than I've given
And I'll probably be okay
If I can get her out of my brain

She was the one that got away
The one I regret, my biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now, she's Miss. mistake

She should've been my Mrs.
Don't wanna move on
But I know that she has
Now every other I compare to her

She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. mistake
She should've been my Mrs.

Mrs. Settle down
No more sleepin' around
Mrs. Picket Fence
Mrs. Brand New House

But I screwed it up
I misstepped out of luck
Had a good one
Now she's got a new mister

If there's a brother out there
That understands then help me say
Yeah, yeah, whoa, oh, oh

Anybody that knows you better go
And help say whoa, oh, oh
She was the one
Oh, oh,oh,oh

She was the one that got away
The one I regret, my biggest mistake
She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now, she's Miss. mistake

She should've been my Mrs.
Don't wanna move on
But I know that she has
Now every other I compare to her

She was my Mrs. Wife
Miss I can spend my life
It's too late, now she's Ms. mistake
She should've been my Mrs.

Should've been my Mrs.
Should've been my Mrs.
Now it's too late
