  • It was just my mistake
    Thinking you cared
    It was just my mistake
    Thinking you'd be there
    That you'd be by my side
    And that you wouldn't lie
    My mistake

    It was just my false hope
    Thinking we'd last, yeah
    It was just my false hope
    Forgot all your pests
    All those girls you denied
    Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

    [Chorus]
    I know it's wrong
    Hanging on too long
    I know it's wrong
    Hanging on too long

    But I beat 'em all
    Hanging on too long

    I was a fool for you
    Right from the start, yeah
    I was a fool for you
    Hoping for a spark
    For some kind of sign
    That you would be mine

    [Chorus]

    My heart was clutching
    To one fair right
    My head was pumping
    It could put up a fight

    [Chorus]

    And I need to move on
    I'm hanging on too long

    [Chorus] Writer/s: Aimee Ann Duffy, Eg White, James Dearness Hogarth
