[Chorus]
C       Em
 I feel like I'm at a standstill
D            Bm7
 Waiting for you to tell me I'm okay
C               Em
 If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G             D
 Myself tryna show you I'm not a mistake?
C              Em
 I've got qualities that I'm not proud of
D               Bm7
 I've made promises that I walked out on
C                Em
 I've had days I feel I don't deserve love
G                       D
 So think what you think, just don't call me a


[Verse 1]
C
 Mistake, might've made some
Em
 Can't argue with that, but I ain't one
D
 Even though I sometimes get afraid of
Bm7                                   C
Having to face the wrath of an anxious me
                       Em
I get it 'cause I actually
                          G
Feel the same, sometimes I think

I might be a lost cause
D
Who turns off 'cause the way I read
C
 Into what I've been through
          Em
You think I'm mental but it pays off though
         D
When the rent's due, I pursue what I love
       Bm7
And if it goes south and falls down, just know
C
 I stand on my own two feet
      Em
Don't you see, those that oppose on me?
     G
Most won't leave, thinking I might retreat
         D
Show 'em my teeth quick if you turn on me 'cause


[Chorus]
C       Em
 I feel like I'm at a standstill
D            Bm7
 Waiting for you to tell me I'm okay
C               Em
 If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G             D
 Myself tryna show you I'm not a mistake?
C              Em
 I've got qualities that I'm not proud of
D               Bm7
 I've made promises that I walked out on
C                Em
 I've had days I feel I don't deserve love
G                       D
 So think what you think, just don't call me a—


[Post-Chorus]
C Em D Bm7
           Just don't call me a—
C Em G D
         Just don't call me a


[Verse 2]
C
 Mistake, 'cause I'm not one
Em
 Misplaced, but I found a
D                           Bm7
 Lot of resentment causes a mess

When you let it get to the place of
C                                        Em
 No confidence, struggle with it, that's obvious
                          G
But not enough to make me second-guess
                         D
If I'd die for the ones I love
                    C
So don't you get confused, thinking if you bring me down
     Em
I'ma just choose to let myself get used
             D
I don't live like that, I feel trapped
        Bm7
I might lash out, I gotta watch my back
      C
Cross my paths, especially with ill intent
       Em
You'll regret you ever took that task
   G
If and when this thing could all go bad
      D
Don't you act like no one warned you yet 'cause


[Chorus]
C       Em
 I feel like I'm at a standstill
D            Bm7
 Waiting for you to tell me I'm okay
C               Em
 If time heals, tell me why do I kill
G             D
 Myself tryna show you I'm not a mistake?
C              Em
 I've got qualities that I'm not proud of
D               Bm7
 I've made promises that I walked out on
C                Em
 I've had days I feel I don't deserve love
G                       D
 So think what you think, just don't call me a


[Outro]
C Em     D    Bm7
     Mistake
