Mistake
Can't sit back and wallow on a past mistake
But I can't fake the regret and anguish I feel when I look back on the past
Which is why I can't heal
I'm just human, I'm only a kid...
Well sometimes I guess that doesn't fly for everything
You want to be perfect and not screw up
But it seems like the harder you try the more you mess up
They say it's only a mistake if you don't learn form it
Then what is it then?
A life lesson?
A rough patch?
Well I guess its just a wrong turn down the road of life
And then you have to deal with the difficulty or making everything right
But the thing about mistakes is this...
It's the happening of an event that wasn't planned to be
But as soon as you screw up you lose your humanity
Now everything you do right is blinded in the sight of everyone else
By the darkness of a past mistake
