Next Mistake

[Verse 1]
You said "come over"
I was already outside
Heart in a chokehold
Keys shaking in the porch light
Your lipstick on the bottle
Names carved in your headboard frame
We’re laughing in the doorway
Both praying this won’t end the same
[Chorus]
You taste like my next mistake
Sweet burn I still wanna chase
Every warning in my chest
But I keep crashing into you
If this is how my heart will break
Carve it in
I’ll still say your name
I know you’re my next mistake
And I’m choosing you
[Verse 2]
Nails down my shoulder
You leave a roadmap on my skin
Your breath says "don’t go"
Your eyes say "don’t let me win"
We talk about forever
While tearing through the bedsheets
You swear you’re bad at loving
I swear that’s what pulls me in deep
[Chorus]
You taste like my next mistake
Sweet burn I still wanna chase
Every warning in my chest
But I keep crashing into you
If this is how my heart will break
Carve it in
I’ll still say your name
I know you’re my next mistake
And I’m choosing you
[Bridge]
All the scars I swore I’d guard (yeah)
You trace them like they’re art
If this is wrong
Don’t make it right
Just leave your teeth in my heart (oh)
[Chorus]
You taste like my next mistake
Sweet burn I still wanna chase
Every warning in my chest
But I keep crashing into you
If this is how my heart will break
Carve it in
I’ll still say your name
I know you’re my next mistake
But I’m choosing you
I keep choosing you (hey)
My beautiful next mistake

rock, Hard emo rock with overdriven guitars, tight drums, and male vocals that move from confessional low verses to a strained, shout-along chorus. Guitars stay palm-muted in the verses, then explode with octave leads and gang vocals on the hook. Bridge drops to bass and vocal before a final, louder chorus with stacked harmonies and a last, held-out note., emo
