Mistakes I Made

It Really Is a Miracle That I Have Come This Far.
Without a Hope Without a Prayer Without a Guiding Star.
In Spite of My Nativity and Many Dreams Betrayed,
I Know I Would Not Be Here Now
But For Mistakes I Made

But For Mistakes I Made
Who Knows Who I Would Be
Some Other Heart Some Other Soul
Some Other Destiny
But For the Times I Took a Wrong Turn Unafraid
I Might Have Missed It All
But For Mistakes I Made
So Many Times I've Tried to Change Things Out of My Control.
The Jealousy and All the Rage That Swallowed Me Up Whole.
The Years That I Spent Loving Those Who Did Not Feel the Same.
The Times I Didn't Trust Myself With Only Me to Blame.

But For Mistakes I Made
Who Knows Where I Would Be
Some Other Place Some Other Time
Some Other Destiny
But For the Times I Took a Wrong Turn Unafraid
I Might Have Missed It All
But For Mistakes I Made

These Things Have Taught Me What Is Real
How to Laugh How to Cry How to Love Without Regret
And When to Say Hello..or Goodbye
I Know Whatever Comes My Way My Dues Have All Been Paid.
For You Would Not Be in My Life, But For Mistakes I Made

But For Mistakes I Made
Who Knows Who I Would Be
Some Other Heart Some Other Soul
Some Other Destiny
But For the Times I Took a Wrong Turn Unafraid
I Might Have Missed It All
But For Mistakes I Made
I Might Have Missed It All
But For Mistakes I Made
