Lyrics Mistakes - Jamie Lenman

Mistakes

I wasn’t born good
Back in my childhood
They call me head sore
They weren’t at all wrong
I use persuasion
Manipulation
To get what I wanted
like a rich kid
I see the heart now
Wish there was somehow
I could erase it
I have to face it
Cause I know I made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I’m sorry baby cakes
Them’s the breaks
I’ve made mistakes
Growing a conscience
A moral substance
Ain’t always easy
You must believe me
Making the choices
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
And I know I made mistakes
And I know the toll it takes
And I’m sorry baby cakes
Them’s the breaks
I’ve made mistakes
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 make
And it gives me the shakes
I’ve made mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes
