All the Usual Mistakes

I treated you so thoughtlessly
And yet you still believe in me
And every time we start to fight
I am so convinced that I am right
In the past I have been a fool
When life has made me mean and cruel

All the usual mistakes
The ones we're all supposed to make
Before we learn which way to go
And why it has to heart us so

When hope conspires with despair
To form mirages in the air
And dreams delivered by deceit
Give them success by your defeat
The excuses that we find
That simply feed a feeble mind

All the usual mistakes
The ones we're all supposed to make
Before we learn which way to go
And why it has to heart us so

And if you meet someone in spring
I think it's worth remembering
While summer brings its warmest day
The autumn seems so far away
When winter makes its message clear
You wipe away another tear

All the usual mistakes
The ones we're all supposed to make
Before we learn which way to go
And why it has to heart us so
