Yesterday's Mistakes
I’ve been broke I’ve been busy
I've been tired, I’ve been bored
I’ve burned so many bridges
I’ve closed so many doors
I’ll be building bridges
As long as it may take
Until recover from yesterday's mistakes
So gone lord, gone, gone are the days
When I was young and I could still makes mistakes
Gone lord, gone, gone are my ways
That keep me repeating yesterday's mistakes
Well you start living before your moment runs away
When you’re living in the past you’ll have your future outlast your mistakes
So making a list and I'm checking it twice
Of all those who gave me solid advice
That I chose to ignore because of the walls
That I built when I was burgled and burnt before
