I've been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
When I should've played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
It can happen to
Anyone of us, anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
Cause I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to
Anyone of us, say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take my heart will break
Cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
She was kind of exciting
A little crazy I should've known
She must have altered my senses
Cause I offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
A stupid mistake
She means nothing to me
(nothing to me)
I swear every word is true
Don't wanna lose you
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
A stupid mistake
she means nothing to me
(nothing to me)
I swear every word is true
don't wanna lose you
