[Verse 1]
Stretched as far as you can take it
Ripped and torn apart
You alone blame yourself again
[Chorus]
It was a beautiful mistake
Colored by all the ghosts you hide away
New truths, new hope, new fate
With seven sins laid at your side
[Verse 2]
With every best intention
Collisions, missteps and fractured hearts
And this won't be the last of them, no
[Chorus]
It was a beautiful mistake
Shattering all the face you try to save
New truths, new hope, new fate
With precious seconds to decide
[Bridge]
It's finding your pace
It's finding your way through this
Coming away with egg on your face
And feel the sting and the sour
Throughout the hours and never
Feel it could ever fix
This overwhelming crucible
Can be overcome
[Chorus]
I love your beautiful mistakes
Colored by all the life you found along the way
New truths, new hope, new fate
This is your moment to decide
[Outro]
Your moment to decide
This is your moment to decide
Your moment to decide

We’re often too hard on ourselves. The Japanese philosophy Kintsugi, the Appreciation of Imperfection, inspired a new way for me to reflect on mistakes. Forgiving others can often be easier than forgiving ourselves.
