Make a Mistake
Navigating Love's Tightrope: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Colin James' 'Make a Mistake'
Lyrics
Oh, how could this be?
Expressing disbelief or shock about a situation.
This jealousy
Referring to feelings of jealousy.
I'm starting now to understand
Beginning to comprehend or grasp the situation.
But everything you do
Highlighting all actions by the person in question.
And every single move
Emphasizing each and every action taken.
Is under my skin again
Stating that these actions deeply affect the speaker emotionally.
And I take it harder than I should
Expressing a heightened emotional response than necessary.
'Cause when you play around with something this good
Recognizing the value of what is at stake in the relationship.
Anyone can make a mistake
Acknowledging the possibility of making mistakes in general.
But only you can cause my heart to break
Attributing the potential heartbreak specifically to the person addressed.
You should know by now
Expecting the person to be aware of the speaker's difficulty in letting go.
That I've never known how
Admitting a struggle in releasing emotions easily.
To let it go easily
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go effortlessly.
So I'm asking you
Making a request for careful consideration.
To really think it through
Emphasizing the importance of thoughtful reflection.
You ask so much of me
Pointing out the significant demands placed on the speaker.
As simple as it should be
Expressing the desire for simplicity in the situation.
'Cause when it comes to you
Highlighting the person addressed as the primary focus.
You're all I can see
Indicating an exclusive concentration on the person in question.
Anyone can make a mistake
Reiterating the acknowledgment that anyone can make mistakes.
But only you can cause my heart to break
Reemphasizing that the potential heartbreak is specific to the person addressed.
