I told you I was hurt,
Bleeding on the inside.
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my life.
These times I stayed alive for you.
These times I would have died for you.
These times it didn't matter at all.

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straight me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in,
I'll take the high road out.
I'll do whatever it takes to be a mistake you can't live without.

Standing in the dark
I can see your shadow,
You're the only light
That's breaking through the window.
These times I stayed alive for you.
These times I would have died for you.
These times it didn't matter at all.

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straight me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in,
I'll take the high road out.
I'll do whatever it takes to be a mistake you can't live without.

I'm not gonna give it away,
I couldn't let it go just to wake up someday.
Gone, gone.
The worst part is looking back and knowing that
I was wrong.

Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down?
Will you straight me out
Or make me take the long way around?
I took the low road in,
I'll take the high road out.
I'll do whatever it takes to be a mistake you can't live without.
I'll do whatever it takes to be a mistake you can't live without.
