[Verse 1]

Roped me in, yes you did

Let me win your heart

Then you’d spin every side of the story

You’d command my life

Place your hand on the knife

Then you’d stand over me in your glory

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Why did you ruin somebody who loved you?

How could you do it, have you no sympathy?

[Chorus]

Is it my mistake?

For saying that you’re everything I wanted

Believing that a life with you was all I’d ever need

You’ll never set me free

Is it my mistake?

For buying into all of the illusions

And trying to forgive the one who used me to the grave

There’s nothing left to save

No, no

[Verse 2]

There’s a voice in my head

It’s the noise that you left

That destroys every wheel I was turning

Now it’s me who’s to blame

While free is your name

Can you see, I’m a man slowly burning?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Chasing the promise, I offered my life to you

Deep in the forest your hand struck me down

[Chorus]

Is it my mistake?

For saying that you’re everything I wanted

Believing that a life with you was all I’d ever need

You’ll never set me free

Is it my mistake?

For buying into all of the illusions

And trying to forgive the one who used me to the grave

There’s nothing left to save

[Bridge]

Am I wrong for seeking a sliver of justice?

Is it a crime to hunt down the captor of my soul?

Do I need a moment of escape, or a lifetime on the run?

Now I crave the innocence you went and stole

[Chorus]

Is it my mistake?

For saying that you’re everything I wanted

Believing that a life with you was all I’d ever need

You’ll never set me free

Is it my mistake?

For buying into all of the illusions

And trying to forgive the one who used me to the grave

There’s nothing left to save
