Your Biggest Mistake

Song byEllie Goulding

in AlbumLights

Take cover

Signs don't show

You drove me off the road

But you let go

'Cause your hope is gone

And every question fades away

It's a shame you don't know

What you're running from

Would your bones have to break

And your lights turn off

Would it take the end of time

To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake

What a waste, what a waste, what a waste

And of all the things you never explained

You know this is your biggest mistake

You tread water

Fighting for the air in your lungs

Move, move closer

Maybe you can right all your wrongs

But you let go

'Cause your hope is gone

And every answer fades away

It's a shame you don't know

What you're running from

Would your bones have to break

And your lights turn off

Would it take the end of time

To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake

What a waste, what a waste, what a waste

And of all the things you never explained

Well, you know this is your biggest mistake

Wipe the mud spray from the face

Stop the engine

Stop pretending

Wipe the mud spray from your face

Stop the engine

Yeah, stop pretending that you're still breathing

It's a shame you don't know

What you're running from

Would your bones have to break

And your lights turn off

Would it take the end of time

To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake

What a waste, what a waste, what a waste

And of all the things you never explained

Well, you know this is your biggest mistake

You know this is your biggest mistake

What a waste, what a waste, what a waste

And of all the things you never explained

Well, you know this is your biggest mistake
