Lyrics:

[Verse:]
I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told I was lost
In the middle of my life

[Pre-Chorus:]
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would have died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all

[Chorus:]
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you strain me out
Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without

[Verse:]
Standing in the dark
I can see your shadow
Your the only light breaking through the window

[Pre-Chorus:]
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would have died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all

[Chorus:]
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down

Will you strain me out
Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without

[Bridge:]
Well I'm not gonna give it away
Not gonna let it go
Just to wake up someday

The worst part is looking back
And knowing I was wrong

[Chorus:]
Will you help me find the right way up
Or let me take the wrong way down
Will you strain me out
Or make me take the long way around

I took the low road in
I'll take the high road out
I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without

I'll do whatever it takes
To be the mistake you can't live without
