NF - MISTAKE

[Chorus]
C Em
I feel like I’m at a standstill
D Bm7
Waiting for you to tell me I’m okay
C Em
If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G D
Myself tryna show you I’m not a mistake?
C Em
I’ve got qualities that I’m not proud of
D Bm7
I’ve made promises that I walked out on
C Em
I’ve had days I feel I don’t deserve love
G D
So think what you think, just don’t call me a

[Verse 1]
C
Mistake, might’ve made some
Em
Can’t argue with that, but I ain’t one
D
Even though I sometimes get afraid of
Bm7 C
Having to face the wrath of an anxious me
Em
I get it ’cause I actually
G
Feel the same, sometimes I think

I might be a lost cause
D
Who turns off ’cause the way I read
C
Into what I’ve been through
Em
You think I’m mental but it pays off though
D
When the rent’s due, I pursue what I love
Bm7
And if it goes south and falls down, just know
C
I stand on my own two feet
Em
Don’t you see, those that oppose on me?
G
Most won’t leave, thinking I might retreat
D
Show ’em my teeth quick if you turn on me ’cause

[Chorus]
C Em
I feel like I’m at a standstill
D Bm7
Waiting for you to tell me I’m okay
C Em
If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G D
Myself tryna show you I’m not a mistake?
C Em
I’ve got qualities that I’m not proud of
D Bm7
I’ve made promises that I walked out on
C Em
I’ve had days I feel I don’t deserve love
G D
So think what you think, just don’t call me a—

[Post-Chorus]
C Em D Bm7
Just don’t call me a—
C Em G D
Just don’t call me a

[Verse 2]
C
Mistake, ’cause I’m not one
Em
Misplaced, but I found a
D Bm7
Lot of resentment causes a mess

When you let it get to the place of
C Em
No confidence, struggle with it, that’s obvious
G
But not enough to make me second-guess
D
If I’d die for the ones I love
C
So don’t you get confused, thinking if you bring me down
Em
I’ma just choose to let myself get used
D
I don’t live like that, I feel trapped
Bm7
I might lash out, I gotta watch my back
C
Cross my paths, especially with ill intent
Em
You’ll regret you ever took that task
G
If and when this thing could all go bad
D
Don’t you act like no one warned you yet ’cause

[Chorus]
C Em
I feel like I’m at a standstill
D Bm7
Waiting for you to tell me I’m okay
C Em
If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G D
Myself tryna show you I’m not a mistake?
C Em
I’ve got qualities that I’m not proud of
D Bm7
I’ve made promises that I walked out on
C Em
I’ve had days I feel I don’t deserve love
G D
So think what you think, just don’t call me a

[Outro]
C Em D Bm7
