Your Biggest Mistake -- Ellie Goulding

Take cover  Signs don't show  You drove me off the road
But you let go  'Cause your hope is gone  And every question fades away
It's a shame you don't know  What you're running from
Would your bones have to break  And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time  To hear your heart's false start?

(**) You know this is your biggest mistake  What a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained  You know this is your biggest mistake

You tread water  Fighting for the air in your lungs
Move, move closer  Maybe you can right all your wrongs
But you let go  'Cause your hope is gone  And every answer fades away
It's a shame you don't know  What you're running from
Would your bones have to break  And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time  To hear your heart's false start?

(**)

Wipe the mud spray from the face  Stop the engine  Stop pretending
Wipe the mud spray from your face  Stop the engine
Yeah, stop pretending that you're still breathing

It's a shame you don't know  What you're running from
Would your bones have to break  And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time  To hear your heart's false start?

This song is about English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding's dad, who left the family home when she was just five. "I don't really speak to him, and I think I got everything into that song that I could,"                                                            (songfacts.com)
