Lyrics
Life’s Mistakes
Lyrics Paul Dempsey/California
(v1)
Memories, some you like to keep
Others you’d like to forget
Some are engrained deep
You can’t let them go just yet
(v2)
Like a bell that can’t be un-rung
The sound echoes in your mind
Mistakes when you were young
You thought you left behind
(chorus)
Life’s mistakes always resurface
And their only purpose
Is to haunt you till you die
Even though you made amends
The guilt and pain never ends
No matter how hard you try
(v3)
Some baggage you wish got lost
But somehow, it’s a part of you
And life’s mistakes have a cost
They leave a lasting mark on you
(bridge)
You cannot live life without pain
Some unavoidable, some self-made
All you can do is try to maintain
But it’s a bill that’s never fully paid
(chorus)
Life’s mistakes always resurface
And their only purpose
Is to haunt you till you die
Even though you made amends
The guilt and pain never ends
No matter how hard you try
