#7: My Favorite Mistake – Sheryl Crowe

I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

[Chorus:]
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake

Your friends are sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover
She'd be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames

[Chorus]

You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothin' lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after
It's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way

Did you know, could you tell
You were the only one
That I ever loved
Now everything's so wrong

Did you see me walking by?
Did it ever make you cry?

You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

Oh goodness...all your songs remind me of someone! I heard this song on the radio summer of 2004 and it struck a chord. It seemed perfect for the guy I had recently dated because of the lines:

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone

He worked a horrible shift with east coast clients, so when I stayed over I'd have to drive home at 4:30 am...so it wasn't really like he left me alone, but still...

Yeah this was a good one for a guy that I was in love with that I had no real chance with because he was in love with someone else (hmmm...that narrows it down). I would spend the night and would have the be out before the sun came up....so like you he didn't really leave me but the same sentiment.
