lyrics

Oh you made a mistake when you were young,
And they’ll never let you live it down,
Oh you thought with your heart and you were wrong,
Oh sweet fool, how could you be so dumb?
Could you open your eyes and see your fault,
From this perspective, now that it’s passed you by?
When you look back at your past, do you feel small,
Against a stack of regrets 20 stories tall?

Thought you’d learned from your flaws, but you’ve become,
A loop of film projecting endlessly in love,
Or a record spinning around in a locked groove,
The song don’t change until the needle’s moved by you,
So pick up all the pieces from the floor,
And don’t put ‘em back together like they were before,
Oh the picture on the front’s always the same,
But turn it upside down and you’ve got a blank slate

Oh cuz what I need is not a certainty,
It’s the hope for something pure,
Oh and what I need is just to believe,
That there is something more,
Oh to love and hate, and all these wretched days,
That make us lose our minds,
Or a guarantee that if you’d stayed with me,
That it would’ve turned out fine,
And I hope you find out it was a mistake on your part,
And I hope you find out it was a mistake

Oh you made a mistake when you were young,
And they’ll never let you live it down
