Biggest mistake

When love comes so late, it´ll really hit hard
It slams through the gate, it´ll catch you off guard
Everyone said, "What a perfect love match
´Cause she is so smart, she´s a hell of a catch"

I was drinking in love, gulping it down
Drifting for months on a billowing cloud
But after awhile I stopped to rebel
I´m back in the past and I´m raising up hell

But I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life

We´d been living together for over a year
The harmony´s perfect, it rang loud and clear
But then very slowly, my nerves start to fray
The little things big, that´s what they say

I acted impatient, I acted unkind
I took her for granted, I played with her mind
She didn´t deserve it but it was too late
I walked out the door and left her to her fate

But I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life
And I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life

(WhoooWhooo Whooo....)

Now I´m down in a slump and I´m eating alone
I ruined the day with some friends on the phone
I never go out, I´m becoming a grouch
I just watch the TV and I drink on the couch

But if love comes again, I´ll be really surprised
I´ll grab it real fast, keep it right in my sights

´Cause I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life
Well I think I´ve just made the biggest mistake of my life
