"That Was My Big Mistake" lyrics

"That Was My Big Mistake"

Farewell the faint-hearted man seduced by a smile
I was the ordinary guy in search of a style
We were helpless, we were victims of persuasion
It's not the things that we said, the schemes we had planned
It's just that love is so rare and seldom at hand
We were lovers, and I believed in happy endings

That was my big mistake!
I should have known you better!
(Known you)
You left me with nothing but broken dreams!
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been...

Ungraced by laughter or youth, a man without charm
I was the ordinary guy who meant you no harm
We were shipwrecked in our sea of isolation
It's not that roles get confused or keep us confined
It's just that when love is abused, we fall out of line
We were lovers and I believed in happy endings...

That was my big mistake!
I should have known you better!
You left me with nothing but broken dreams!
What a fool I've been
Fool I've been

That was my big mistake!
I should have known you better...
You left me with nothing but broken dreams!
That was my big mistake
I should have known you better...
You left me with nothing but broken dreams!

That was my big mistake
I should have known you better
That was my big mistake
I should have known better!
Ah, ah~
That was my big mistake!
I should have known, should have known, you better
