Mistakes

I made the mistake of bring myself to your level.

I regret putting myself into this situation without looking both ways like my 
mommy taught me.

I regret not dotting all my i's and crossing all my t's.

Everytime I shed tears knowing you wasn't trippin over me.

Everytime I laid down with you and letting you hurt me because it made you 
happy.

Everytime I thought I could press rewind.

Everytime I looked too deep into the future instead of living in the here and now.

Every lie I told you because you liked when I stroked your ego.

I regret keeping that one secret from you because if you knew you'd be crushed 
beyond workds.

I regret becoming the monster that I am.

I made the mistake of putting up a front and acted like everything was fine.

I cared too soon and too hard.

Every lie I believed. 

I regret following my heart.

For being so naive.

Sometimes I regret that I'm here. He didn't want me so why did she care?

I regret that I became an ******* and ended up being everything he is and was.

I made the mistake of being what I promised myself I would never become.

I regret that no matter where we go in life you will always have a big piece of my 
heart.

I regret that I let my friends treat you like dirt behind your back and let them smile 
in your face.

I regret that I am apologizing for my mistakes

I keep making the mistake of blaming my traits on genetics.
