Favorite Mistake - Aliza
You walked in
Like a warning sign
I read it all
And crossed the line
Every red flag
Felt like fate
I knew the cost
I paid it anyway
You said my name
Like it was safe
Like I was home
Not just a phase
I gave you trust
I gave you time
You gave me reasons to survive
I knew you'd leave
Before you stayed
Still I loved you unafraid
If loving you was wrong somehow
I'd still choose you right now
You're my favorite mistake
The one I can't erase
The scar I still defend
Even after how it ends
You broke me in the softest way
With promises you couldn't save
I lost myself
But what's it take
You're my favorite mistake
I learned your silence
Learned your lies
Called them moods
Not goodbyes
I made excuses for your pain
Let it fall on me like rain
They warned me love
Shouldn't hurt like this
But I thought pain
Was part of it
I stayed too long
I loved too deep
I chose you even when you didn't choose me
I should've walked when you pulled away
But I kept hoping you'd still stay
If regret had a face
It would look like yesterday
You're my favorite mistake
The ache I still embrace
The truth I couldn't see
Till you were done with me
You said forever way too late
Then left before it had a shape
I'd fall again for heaven's sake
You're my favorite mistake
Maybe one day
I'll love more
Guard my soul
Protect my heart
But loving you was reckless
I'm beautiful and torn apart
If pain is proof I felt something real
Then I felt everything with you
I'd rather break than never feel
Than live untrue
But never true
I don't hate you
I just hate what it cost
I don't regret you
I regret how I got lost
You're my favorite mistake
The memory I can't replace
I'd bleed again just to feel
The way your love felt real
You taught my heart what it can take
How much it breaks how much it breaks
If loving you was my mistake
You're still my favorite mistake
One day your name won't hurt like this
One day I'll let you fade
But some loves never disappear
They just become a favorite mistake
