Midnight Mistakes

Verse 1

I was wearing your old jacket downtown

Laughing way too loud with my friends around

You said I'd never make it on my own

Funny how I built a kingdom from the stones

I used to replay every word you said

Now I dance instead of staying in my head

You were a lesson dressed up as a dream

The best thing that ever happened to me

Pre-Chorus

I don't need your apology

I don't need your sympathy

I found a version of myself

You never got to see

Chorus

Here's to the midnight mistakes

The wild nights and the heartaches

The tears I cried and the roads I took

The pages you never got to look

I'm not the girl you left behind

I'm the headline of my own life

So turn it up and let the whole world know

I'm better than I was before

Verse 2

New city lights and new favorite songs

New little reasons to keep moving on

I stopped checking if you were online

Started making memories that are mine

Your name doesn't hurt like it used to do

It's just a story I already knew

Funny how the things that broke your heart

Can become the things that make you start

Pre-Chorus

I don't need to prove a thing

I found my own kind of magic

The girl who thought she lost it all

Found something much more tragic

Chorus

Here's to the midnight mistakes

The wild nights and the heartaches

The tears I cried and the roads I took

The pages you never got to look

I'm not the girl you left behind

I'm the headline of my own life

So turn it up and let the whole world know

I'm better than I was before

Better than before

(Better than before)

Bridge

And maybe someday you'll hear this song

And wonder where it all went wrong

But I won't be waiting by the door

I don't live there anymore

No I don't live there anymore

Final Chorus

Here's to the midnight mistakes

The memories and the heartbreaks

Every scar became a spark

Every shadow made me start

I'm not the girl you used to know

I'm the fire and I'm the glow

Turn it up and let the whole world know

I'm better than I was before

Better than before

(Better than before)
