Make No Mistake

In the summer of '92
I had one more chance to see you.
It was you, and me,
and Sue makes three,
and I’ll never forget what you said to me.
You said, «Take a look
and don’t forget.
I’ll be your first and last regret.
I am the one.
We’re meant to be.
Make no mistake:
you will miss me.»
It was 1994 when I saw you last.
I kept trying to see
behind your Halloween mask.
But you were distracted,
at least, that’s how you acted,
and I heard these words
echo up in my ears.
You said, «Take a look
and don’t forget.
I’ll be your first and last regret.
I am the one.
We’re meant to be.
Make no mistake:
you will miss me.»
It was 1997 when I wrote this song.
I have no idea what took so long.
I feel my mistake from the inside out.
Now I know what those tears were about.
You said, «Take a look
and don’t forget.
I’ll be your first and last regret.
I am the one.
We’re meant to be.
Make no mistake:
you will miss me.»
