I walked the line, I crossed the edge
I said some things I never meant
Chased shadows that weren't mine
Lost myself trying to make you mine
Every step I took was blind
Running from the truth inside
I built walls I had to break
Learning from the mistakes I made

Mistakes, they haunt me in the night
But they're the lessons that make me fight
I'm not perfect, I'm not free
But I'm finding the best of me
Mistakes, they cut but then they heal
The pain is proof that I am real
I'll rise again, no time to wait
'Cause life's about the mistakes

I held on tight to what was gone
Afraid to face the coming dawn
But every fall was a new start
A chance to heal my broken heart
I've been lost, I've been wrong
But I'm still singing my own song
No regrets, just memories
Of all my scars and victories

Mistakes, they haunt me in the night
But they're the lessons that make me fight
I'm not perfect, I'm not free
But I'm finding the best of me
Mistakes, they cut but then they heal
The pain is proof that I am real
I'll rise again, no time to wait
'Cause life's about the mistakes

If I stumble, if I fall
I'll get up and give my all
Every crack inside my soul
Makes me stronger, makes me whole

Mistakes, they teach me who I am
A fighter, a dreamer, a better man
I'm not perfect, but I'm brave
Walking forward through the waves
Mistakes, they cut but then they heal
The pain is proof that I am real
I'll rise again, no time to wait
'Cause life's about the mistakes

You make mistakes like me too
You make mistakes like me too
You make mistakes like me too
You make mistakes like me too
