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
