Lyrics
Long Mistake<br />
<br />
A is for the Aching<br />
B for the Broken Heart<br />
I’m seeing things a little clearer now<br />
Since you Decided to Depart<br />
<br />
F is for the Fucking Flowers<br />
G for the Gifts we gave<br />
H is like a Heartache<br />
That I feel every day<br />
<br />
We hold off we hold off the tide<br />
Along the way<br />
But we know all we know all the while<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
<br />
OK, L is obviously loneliness, empty<br />
N for the Not-so-shocking News<br />
Oh, Oh, Oh, my darling, I’m over<br />
Obsessing over you<br />
<br />
We hold off we hold off the tide<br />
Along the way<br />
But we know all we know all the while<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
A-a-ache<br />
<br />
Please excuse the Question<br />
But Are You really satisfied<br />
With your new girlfriend and your SUV<br />
And all I have left is Why<br />
<br />
We hold off We hold off the tide<br />
Along the way<br />
But we know all we know all the while<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
It’s a long mistake<br />
A-a-ache<br />
<br />
Are you really happy now<br />
Are you really satisfied
