Mistake

I know I was a mistake, and I understand
Our love was fleeting, like grains of sand
We had our moments, under the pale moonlight
But I knew from the start
We were bound to fight
I felt the warmth of your touch, the softness of your kiss
But deep down I knew, it wouldn't end in bliss
So I'll let you go with a tender smile

Our love was sweet, but only for a while
No need to dwell on what we can't sustain
We were a brief, beautiful summer rain
I remember your laugh, echoing in the night
The way we held each other, felt so right

But passion's flame can't burn too bright
And I knew it would fade out of sight
We danced in shadows, whispered in the dark
But I knew the end was written from the start
So I'll let you go with a tender smile

Our love was sweet, but only for a while
No need to dwell on what we can't sustain
We were a brief, beautiful summer rain

Sometimes love is just a fleeting song
A melody that plays then moves along
I'll cherish the memories, hold them near
But now it's time to face the truth, my dear
So I'll let you go with a tender smile

Our love was sweet, but only for a while
No need to dwell on what we can't sustain
We were a brief, beautiful summer rain
No regrets, just a love that had to wane
You were my beautiful summer rain
