Mistakes

Empty reasons for my past

Excuses do not hold

I'm struck with my affliction

An inner perfect storm

Why didn't someone warn me

To save me from myself

The pain is self inflicted

The decisions were my own

Now listen to history



(Chorus)

There's so much I could say

There's so much that I've learned

Don't make my mistake

There's no time to delay

Take my hand and learn from my heartache



Take a look into the past

See all the things I've tried*

Looking for a truth inside

But only finding pain

See these deep and painful scars,

Cutting to the bone

Do you want to look like me?

With a broken empty life

Now listen to history



(Chorus)

There's so much I could say

There's so much that I've learned

Don't make my mistake

There's no time to delay

Take my hand and learn from my heartache



Some things you may never understand

But knowledge from lessons not your own

Can save you from the unknown which may stop your fall



(Chorus)

There's so much I could say

There's so much that I've learned

Don't make my mistake

There's no time to delay

Take my hand and learn from my heartache (x2)
