Mistakes

[Verse 1]

I wasn't born good

Back in my childhood

They call me headstrong

They weren't at all wrong

I use persuasion

Manipulation

To get what I wanted

Typical rich kid

I see the heart now

Wish there was somehow

I could erase it

I have to face it

[Chorus]

'Cause I know I made mistakes

And I know the toll it takes

And I'm sorry babycakes

Them's the breaks

I've made mistakes

[Verse 2]

Growing a conscience

That moral substance

Ain't always easy

You must believe me

Making the choices

Matching their voices

Trying to live right

It's like a prize fight

Still, with a look in their big book

I see the mark against my name

That's my shame

[Chorus]

And I know I made mistakes

And I know the toll it takes

And I'm sorry babycakes

Them's the breaks

I've made mistakes

[Bridge]

At the end of it all, I become who I am

You decide for yourself how much you can stand

Does that sound like a plan?

I think that's a plan

If we're gonna re-live all the things that we've done

I think I'll probably beg for mercy at the first fucking one

And it gives me the shakes

I've made mistakes

[Outro]

Mistakes

Mistakes
