about

the first draft/lead single off of new mistake's first ep.

it's a dirty, raw, lo-fi, messy jam. recorded entirely on cassette tape.

lyrics

i thought that i had it figured out about how i felt
read into every word you said, this hand i was dealt
a full house left vacant no one inside i broke my own trust
guess if i lie to myself again i'm just left with lust

looks like we're back to square one
there's nothing left to be undone
you know that i don't hate you
but you just make it hard not to

i fell further into this dream where i would swim through your touch
this sea of maybes can turn itself to nightmares too much
romanticizing the feeling that i won't be alone
i talked to myself in the wrong tone

(chorus)

i crumble into pieces every time
(maybe it's different now)
i can't seem to straighten out my mind
(i'll figure it out somehow)
i crumble into pieces every time
(say that it's different now)
i can't seem to straighten out my mind

(chorus)
