Lyrics
I'm acting in this play of
Comedy with tragic words
The audience was smiling
Cheering on a scene absurd
I could try to hide behind the makeup
But the show must go on
I feel so crazy
My head is filled with broken mirrors
So many, I can't look away
I'm in a bad way
If I could fix the broken pieces
Then I'd have a happy mistake
A lonely disposition
Portraits of a strung-out girl
How'd I get so addicted
To the love of the whole world
I could try to hide behind the makeup
But the show must go on
I feel so crazy
My head is filled with broken mirrors
So many I can't look away
I'm in a bad way
If I could fix the broken pieces
Then I'd have a happy mistake
If I could buy a happy sunny day
So brilliantly
And wash away the sad mistakes
I could hold my heart in a safe place
All I need to breathe
Is one happy mistake
Ooh
Ooh, oh
Made a happy mistake
