Mistakes

I'm making the mistakes I made when I was younger
Now I'm too old to be forgiven
It's not the worst thing I can imagine
So I just try to tell myself it's just living

You were the apple of my eye
Until the day you lost your shine
And I had to learn the hard way
That you were nothing special

I feel stupid 'cause I miss it
Something that was never real
Just something I built up in my head
Until I stripped away the veneer

Now you're the worm in my apple
You're the rain on a sunny day
And I can't even remember
Why I ever thought you shined so brightly

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm still stayin' out way too late
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm still comin' home with the sunrise

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I slep the day away again
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I'm avoiding all my friends

Trying to be who I'm supposed to be
I took a step in the wrong direction
And I was flying off the edge
Now I'm coming home again
You're not gonna find me lying on the floor anymore
'Cause I can finally see, you offered nothing to me
