Mistakes

Mistakes
I have made a lot of them
I have been to the edge and back
Mistakes make us stronger
They help us find the light
I fear that light
So it holds me back
In the dark mistakes can cost you your life
And that's just the way I like it
 
Mistakes
Maybe it was a mistake to love you
I don't think so
You helped me see so much more
I moved on
And for that I'm thankful
Mistakes
Hating you was one big mistake
It wasn't you I was mad at
It was me
I fooled myself into thinking you were a bi***
I was the bi***
I've changed since then
We're friends

Mistakes
Life is so full of them
Everybody makes mistakes
And there is nothing we can do about it
We can only learn from them
And improve our lifes
So my mistakes are great
