Jada Facer Lyrics by Party Dress
Mistake
Should’ve known that tonight was a mistake
Need a taxi for me plus my heartbreak
‘Cause I thought I’d be okay
But okay don’t come easy these days
One drink
Said that I’d stay here for one drink
I don’t know what I was thinking
Guess I thought I’d be okay
But “okay” feels like torture these days
I’m burning from the smoke
In this overcrowded bar
My friends are getting shots
They don’t see me in the dark
‘Cause acting like I’m happy
That’s the hardest part
Got me wishing these cigarettes would trip the fire alarm
There’s a guy there in the corner
In jeans and corduroy
Why did my heart miss a beat
When it knows you’re in Detroit?
Guess I’m that old cliche
That girl at 3am
Who’s sitting on the steps
Crying in her favorite party dress
I try with someone new
And he’s got kind eyes that are
lighting up the room
But something’s not right ‘cause that
hazel isn’t you
Maybe it’s too soon
Or maybe I got
Nothing to lose
I’m talking to the walls
‘Cause no one understands
I wish they wouldn’t take
So many photographs
‘Cause smiling like I’m happy
That’s the hardest part
And how long til they notice
It’s all falling apart?
So I’ll make my excuse
And say I need some air
Then it hits me like a train
If I called you wouldn’t care
Guess I’m that old cliche
That girl at 3am
Whose makeup’s all a mess
Crying in her favorite party dress
It’s finally crashing down
As the sun is coming up
I know you would’ve stayed
If I had been enough
Guess I’m that old cliche
That girl at 3am
Who’s lying in her bed
Eyes burning red
Begging God to change the end
Crying in her favorite party dress
