They watch you pretend to adore me

But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover

She'd be unlike any other

Until your guilt goes up in flames

| "It's your laughter won't let me go so I'm holding on this way" Breaks my heart all over again. But like the song implies, no regrets. | |

| So this song is about her relationship with Eric Clapton - weird, huh? Atleast that's what I've heard. She wrote it after they broke up. I think that everyone in their life has a favorite mistake, I know I do. We had an amazing time together, but in the end I knew that it was all a mistake. We had a wonderful time together, and I think that I was actually in love with him at the time...but it's all gone now - I guess I miss him. *sigh* I haven't had a decent relationship since then. I'm so pathetic | |

| I love this song. Loved it when it first came out && I love it now! I think its pretty self explanitory, she was in love with someone && then one day she realizes that the way he has been acting is because her significant other has lost feelings for her, and yet he is her favorite mistake. I think that my ex prolly would say this to me, because I was the one who broke it off, and we had a good thing while it lasted but he just needed to grow the hell up...and i changed my mind basically overnight because I realized taht he was a jerk. But he'd prolly say that to me cus I was his "favorite mistake" lol Ohh well i moved on && happy w/ my life now | |

| She's actually denied that this song is about her relationship with Eric Clapton. But it is a beautiful song, and I know everyone has their own "favorite mistake." Or mistakes. | |

| this song is so great because everyone can relate to it. no matter what. everyone on here has already posted sumthing like "i have a favorite mistake". and everybody does. its such a great line. "ur my favorite mistake". its an oxymoron. and everybody has something that was great while it lasted, then it was over, and you realize that it probably was a mistake. but u dont care. this song is amazing. and i hope she gets past her breast cancer. | |

| I love this song. One of my ex's sent the lyrics to me when we broke up. There was like an unspoken happiness/sadness to the whole deal. | |

| i love the words to this song. i guess i've had several favourite mistakes in my life so far. i guess it's about loving someone but knowing they don't love you back. yet you keep going back to that person and being used by them. oh dear.... | |

| I have one favorite mistake but just recently she's turned into a real bitch. Not to me but to others. After telling other people what I thought they all said "didn't you know?" I just never saw the selfish and jealous side of her personality until we stopped dating and I stopped liking her. It's a shame because I have a few great memories of her and now they're tainted by her actions of the past few weeks. I try to remember the good times and how I felt and I know that it was a mistake, but of all the mistakes I've made, she's my favourite. | |
