Open up your eyes, baby   Let the truth and sun shine in   One day, one day, one day you’ll understand   You’ll grow up and you’ll see   There’s a truth between friends and enemies      And I should have listened to my intuition   Of the way when your moves   And your moods were saying   They were sayin’ no more, no more, no more, no more   Can’t stick around until you take me down   And I’m alone and dealing   With the confusion that I’m feeling      I made the greatest mistake of my life   When I let you get away, baby   And I, I made the greatest mistake   And still am, still am, still am      I can see clearly   That there’s no love lost between us   Misguided lost child, I pray, I pray for you   I hope that your lies can keep you warm      Oh if I, I could rewind the time   And keep those records playin’, playin’, playin'   I say play on, play on, play on, play on   About the love we never left behind   Forget about the broken-hearted   We got to pick up where we started      I made the greatest mistake of my life   When I let you get away, baby   And I, I made the greatest mistake   And still am, still am, still am      Wish I read the writing   On the wall we made around us now, baby   Mistakes can turn your world go 'round   And build it up and tear it down, baby      I made the greatest mistake of my life   When I let you get away, baby   I made the greatest mistake of my life   Make the greatest mistake   And it’s still there, still there, still there      I made the greatest mistake of my life   I never should have let you get away, baby   I made the greatest mistake of my life   Make the greatest mistake   And you’re the real thing, the real thing   Still am...      I made the greatest mistake of my life   When I let you get away, baby
