The Perfect Mistake (NYC) - A Step in the Right Direction

Make no mistake
Our time has long been over
Why we try to fake it
Is what i'll never understand
There's certain things
That i see better off for you
Like better yet, i think it's time to act your age
Stop hiding under things that were
That aren't anymore
We know we've got a problem
When words mean no more than that
We lie through our teeth
To feel the quotas that our heart's demand
Let's take a step in the right direction
And see the road beneath our feet
We've all have had our heartaches
So quit acting like you've never hurt before
'cuz after all* ain't this how love's supposed to be
When all is said and done
Cut your loses to their smallest
Lock the door and keep this key protected
So no one knows this path existed
We know we've got a problem
When words mean no more than that
We lie through our teeth
To feel the quotas that our heart's demand
But now our "i love you's"
Do us no good at all
So pack your bags and save your shit
I want you walking out that door
I'm not asking as your accident
I'm asking as your only friend* how'd this spin so far out of control.
