The Next Mistake

The truth is
this whole thing was rigged against me
There was just no way to make it through
and not give up something in the process
In the end I gave up my heart
probably forever
Not that you ever even wanted it
but it’s still yours
I wish you would tell me where you left it
so that I could dust it off and put it back
I’ll need it for the next time
I fall for someone I could never have
I’m sure to never learn to read the signs
So if you would maybe just please
put what I tried to give you back
and let me carry on my way…

…towards the next mistake
