Allie X
Mistake (Original Version)
[Verse 1]
Packed up things from your house and put them away
I knew that I was going to go away
From these things but I knew
Lifted up the mattress off the fire escape
We left the truck door open so you could escape through the fire
Through the fire

[Chorus]
Am I makin' a mistake? Swimmin' the wrong way?
Am I?
Am I makin' a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
Should I?

[Verse 2]
When you left that day you didn't hug me goodbye
And I called out your name so I could tell you "Goodbye"
When you left, goodbye
Kissed me on the forehead and said I was strange
I looked at you and nodded and said "Okay, I am strange"
"I am strange"

[Chorus]
Am I makin' a mistake? Swimmin' the wrong way?
Am I?
Am I makin' a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
Should I?
You tell me that I am strange, that I need to change
Do I?
So I am making change, there's no other way
This is the only way
[Bridge]
Am I makin' a mistake? Swimmin' the wrong way?
Am I making a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
(Am I makin' a mistake?)

[Outro]
Am I makin' a mistake? Goin' the wrong way?
(I can go but I cannot change my ways)
Am I makin' a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
(I can go but I cannot change my ways)
Through the fire, through the fire
Through the fire
Am I makin' a mistake? Am I makin' a mistake?
Am I makin' a mistake? Am I makin' a mistake?
