“Success and failure are two sides of the same coin.

[Verse 1]
I’ve thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life
Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
All the fights and late night conversations
All the wasted tears
[Chorus]
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
And I don’t regret a single day
They were the best mistakеs I’ve ever madе
[Verse 2]
I’ve tried to throw the past out
I’ve tried to shed my skin
But the days go by so fast now
I kinda like remembering
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own
The new sound, the overnight sensation
Flying so high that I couldn’t let go
[Chorus]
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
And I don’t regret a single day
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
[Bridge]
I did my time on the merry-go-round
And if I had to choose between then and now
I’d choose now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here
All the fights and late night conversations
All the wasted tears
[Chorus]
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
I’m not an angel, but then again I’m no fake
And I don’t regret a single day
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
Well I have made my fair share of mistakes
I’ve been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake
And I don’t regret a single day
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
They were the best mistakes I’ve ever made
