Another Slip ( aka Mistake Book Of Yore )
 

I've missed another boat and slammed another door
no lessons learned from my mistake book of yore
but this one's a big hurt to swallow and take
damn, I'm worse than useless, I'm a fake
all you ever done was be there and care
unconditionally, no matter how hard to bear
all I ever done was slam the door in your face
a stupid, stubborn, unbeareable mistake

now I'm hoping against hope your ship will return
coz that's the only thing that will heal this one
but that feels like a no-hope longshot bet
guess I'll be adding this one to my book of regrets

I just wish I had a time-machine attached to my door
then I could throw away my mistake book of yore
telling myself I'm a success instead of a failure
but in the cold light of day, that's a no-brainer
just why was it so hard for me to accept your care
when it was unconditional, you were always there
all I ever done was slam the door in your face
a stupid, stubborn, unbearable mistake

now I'm hoping against hope your ship will return
that you'll see fit to let this stubborn bridge burn
I'm hoping against hope this one's a jackpot win
then I can finally lay my mistake book of yore to bed
