Savvy Girl - The Greatest (mistake) lyrics

There's a candle beside my bed I lit it every night last summer And I'm home again lit it the first time since then And it smells like getting to know you There's a candle on the table You built yourself in your living room And you lit that candle every night that I was there And it smells like falling head over feet for you My life, a sequence of pretty lights like a carnival the one you never took me to like the movies that all fill my head with dreams that you just didn't have the time to occupy You're treading lightly just like July And I know how you hate apologies and you have heard enough of them from me But getting scared to some degree made me everything I promised I wouldn't be Taking care of you, the only thing I knew would make you break The biggest risk you'd ever take was on the biggest role I've ever faked Eyes shut, wide awake, it was the greatest mistake Your laugh still haunts me, your voice in my head Even though I haven't heard a word in weeks I bounce back fast, it should be easy to forget you I really prayed that hearts and thoughts they'd fade Your laugh surrounds me, we're in your car Singin' all our favorite country songs And right there, the moment that I fell for you Sheer panic masked by sungla**es and plaid Your life, a sequence of blinding lights ?Like an interrogation ?Will you be good enough ?Like a test? That you pa**ed with flying colors and now you dont know when to quit and take a rest You're treading lightly and we both know why You were the only one to ever say that you'd take care of me, but I'm not as strong as I Seemed like the way that I started to want you was a little risky, had to make you run before you'd Redeem all you owned of me, like the failing heart I left among the debris? of a war that I started at "I'm yours", but had long departed? Before you knew I was planning to leave And I know how you hate when I publicly display the feelings that come over me strike you as ironic? 1, 2...three I, became someone who would fight just to disagree But I'd be anyone if you're the one who's taking care of me And though you had a lot at stake you always run before the break You say do what you want...but, what I want is fake Commitment free ain't free of heartache get close, pull back - a boys mistake, but you're a man and I want a retake cuz you are my greatest...
