Yeah… I jumped too fast (ooh-ooh)

Thought I saw forever in her eyes (in her eyes…)

Now I’m payin’ the price… (yeah, yeah)

First time I met her, she was cool, she was humble (humble, yeah)

Love at first sight, no lie, I didn’t stumble (no, no)

Didn’t hesitate, walked right up, said “You’re the one” (you’re the one!)

We dated, laughed, felt like we’d already won (ooh)

But now the mask is off, jealousy’s her crown (her crown)

Obsession in her voice every time I leave the house (every time…)

She’s a stranger in my bed, throwin’ things when she’s mad (mad!)

Askin’ for my phone—girl, you’re drivin’ me mad (mad, mad, mad)

I blame myself every night (night…)

Why didn’t I wait just a little more time? (time…)

If I’d seen the red flags in the light (in the light…)

I wouldn’t be trapped in this life (no, no, no)

I married a mistake! (Mistake!) Yeah, I married a mistake! (Oh no!)

Signed my name on the line, now I’m wide awake (wide awake!)

She wants kids, I’m stallin’, tryna find a way out (way out!)

But “community property” got me full of doubt (doubt!)

Half of everything I built, she’ll take it with a smile (with a smile!)

I’d rather catch a fade than walk that aisle again (again!)

I married a mistake… (ooh-ooh-ooh) and I can’t press rewind (rewind!)

Sleepin’ with one eye open when we fight (fight…)

‘Cause I stepped out—can’t even touch her at night (no, no)

She feels like a ghost in the home that I made (that I made…)

Checkin’ my messages, callin’ me a liar to my face (liar!)

She screams, “If you don’t love me, then why don’t you leave?” (leave!)

I whisper, “Baby, you’d take everything from me” (from me…)

Built this from the ground, now it’s hers by law (by law!)

Biggest L of my life—wish I never said “I do” at all (at all!)

I blame myself when the sun goes down (down…)

Should’ve waited, should’ve looked around (around…)

Now I’m drownin’ in this wedding gown… of lies (lies!)

I married a mistake! (Mistake!) Yeah, I married a mistake! (Lord!)

Signed my soul on the dotted line, now my heart aches (heart aches!)

She wants a family, I’m plannin’ my escape (escape!)

But losin’ half my world keeps me in this cage (this cage!)

I’d rather catch a fade than let her win this game (this game!)

I’d catch a grenade for freedom—blow this whole thing away (blow it away!)

I married a mistake… (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) and I’m countin’ down the days (countin’…)

Easy to say “I do” when the lights are low (low…)

Hard to undo when the truth starts to show (to show…)

She says, “You made your bed,” I say, “I can’t even sleep” (sleep…)

Love turned to chains, now I’m in too deep… (too deep…)

Oh Lord… help me… yeah…

I married a mistake! (Mistake!)

Lord, I married a mistake! (Have mercy!)

Thought she was my grenade, but I’m the one who blew (who blew!)

Now I’m prayin’ for a lawyer and a miracle too (miracle!)

Half my life, half my dreams, she’ll walk away clean (clean!)

I’d catch a grenade to get back to me (to me!)

I married a mistake… (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

And I just wanna be free! (Free! Free! Free!)

Yeah… I jumped too fast (too fast…)

Should’ve seen the storm behind that smile (that smile…)

Now I’m payin’ the price… (the price…)

For the rest of my life… (ooh-ooh… ooh-ooh…)

(“Mistake… mistake… yeah…”)
