Mistakes

[Verse 1]
I wasn't born good
Back in my childhood
They call me headstrong
They weren't at all wrong
I use persuasion
Manipulation
To get what I wanted
Typical rich kid
I see the heart now
Wish there was somehow
I could erase it
I have to face it

[Chorus]
'Cause I know I made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I'm sorry babycakes
Them's the breaks
I've made mistakes

[Verse 2]
Growing a conscience
That moral substance
Ain't always easy
You must believe me
Making the choices
Matching their voices
Trying to live right
It's like a prize fight
Still, with a look in their big book
I see the mark against my name
That's my shame

[Chorus]
And I know I made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I'm sorry babycakes
Them's the breaks
I've made mistakes

[Bridge]
At the end of it all, I become who I am
You decide for yourself how much you can stand
Does that sound like a plan?
I think that's a plan
If we're gonna re-live all the things that we've done
I think I'll probably beg for mercy at the first fucking one
And it gives me the shakes
I've made mistakes

[Outro]
Mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes
