My Mistake

Kerosene eyes
 Saw the future, it burned me alive
 I broke his heart in one night
 And I left Missouri behind
 Thought he was the one
 Tortured soul in a preacher's son
 Yeah, he prayed on his knees
 He preyed on my need to be a light
 Someone's gotta love me, not in vain
 Somebody's gotta love me, just the same
 Somebody's gotta love me, I know it's true
 My mistake was thinking it was you
 Sometimes I forget
 It wasn't always so innocent
 He put a ring in my hand
 I lied when I said I wouldn't leave
 That was years ago
 It was always inevitable
 Yeah, most days he's gone
 Some days he comes and talks to me, to me
 Someone's gotta love me, not in vain
 Somebody's gotta love me, just the same
 Somebody's gotta love me, I know it's true
 My mistake was thinking it was you
 Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh
 Yeah, it took some time to see the difference between him and I
 And I'm still not quite sure just what I deserve
 But someone's gotta love me, someone's gotta love me
 Someone's gotta love me, I know it's true
 Someone's gotta love me
 Someone's gotta love me
 Somebody's gotta love me, I know it's true
 My mistake was thinking it was you
 Oh-oh, oh-oh it's true
 My mistake was thinking it was you
