My Mistake

I was always here and there for you
But not consistently
I never found the time to read you lines
Of my favorite songs
And I never saw what was there
When it was always in arm's reach
But now it's plain to see
What once I had for keeps
Sometimes I wonder why you went away
Even though I know it was my mistake
I'll make a believer out of you and me
Now that I see it was my mistake
If I could've found the time just to
Prove three words in the proper way
We could've said fairwell on this one
Fine day and it would be okay
