My Mistake Lyrics

Look what I have done
I've caused a lot of pain
'Cause I never really knew
What love could put someone through
I just wanted excitement
Wanted what I want but
Didn't fulfil my needs
And now that I see the picture
Please pardon me

We all have our wants
I know everyone's got their needs
Oh but somehow what I wanted
Overruled my needs I was living
In a fantasy
All I needed was to see
True love needs romance
And it took me so long to learn
Then one day I would really see
How painful it'd really be
When you lose your love

I should've realized
That you can't disguise
Love when it's real I should've known the reality
When I set her free
She said you didn't love me
I knew that it was my mistake

There's a million times
I felt that I'd found love
But each time it turned out to be
None of the things I'd ever dreamed of
One day I met her
I hoped that she'd be different
From the rest
I would finally live my adventure
Had she only agreed

Oh but I should've realized
That you can't disguise
Love when it's real
I should've known
True love wouldn't be
When she looked at me
And said she didn't love me
I knew that it was my mistake
