Written in December 2008

lyrics

Standing on the edge of what you want
Take your time, because mistakes can haunt
Am I something, or something to avoid?
Am I your music, or just background noise?

Though I don't want you to see me as I feel this way
It's better for you to know, then just look away
Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made
As I long to let you know that you were no mistake

And the problems, forgive and forget
It's for others happiness, so I won't regret
So now I'm frozen, caught in this mess
It was meant to be for the better, if not the best

Though I'm allowed to breathe, I hold my breath
Though I know what I want, I only take what's left
And it may not seem right if it's not for myself
But I live for the happiness of everyone else

And I don't want you to see me as I feel this way
It's better for you to know, then just look away
Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made
As I long to let you know that you were no mistake

Know if you lose your breath, you always take mine
And if the night blows in, you make it shine
You give music a rhythm, and poetry it's rhyme
Reason for life in my hope to relive a smile

So I need you to see that the choices I made were for you
And I know that it'll work out, if you help me break through
Now I feel frozen in the choices I never made,
As I long to let you know you were you no mistake

No mistake
