The Sum of Who We Are

I pride myself on my perserverance
Though my present opinions
Have been known to start some wars
Shotgun shells, but more of your loaded questions
Since an adolescence I was raised to stay the course
The sum of who we are
Outweighs the battle-scars and weary hearts
I’ll be the best mistake you ever made
You’ll ever make
The warning signs were there but disregarded
The way you played your cards
It was hard to watch the reckoning
You stole the passion in my bones
I was some stray without a home
But you left me breathing and now you’re gonna pay
The sum of who we are
Outweighs the battle-scars and weary hearts
I’ll be the best mistake you ever made
You’ll ever make
I’ll forgive, but won’t forget
A cloud still looms o-o-ver head
Brand my skin to remember this
I can’t say that you’ll be missed
The sum of who we are
Outweighs the battle-scars and weary hearts
I’ll be the best mistake you ever made
You’ll ever make
The sum of who we are
Outweighs the battle-scars and weary hearts
I’ll be the best mistake you ever made
You’ll ever make
I’ll be the best mistake that you ma-a-a-de
I’ll be the best mistake that you’ll make
