People make mistakes, I know this to be true
It's easy enough to slip into something
cold and comfortable
then to go out into the heat of day.

I've made my mistakes, hell
I'm sure I've made your mistakes too
but I know I've learned from them
and I won't do what I did again.

Can you say that? Can you say
that you let go when you were supposed to
learned that you helped destroy something
so you won't ever do it again?

Did you learn that lying and cheating and stealing
just to get your way
is a pretty good way to hurt everyone
who tries to befriend you?

Ah, who needs mistakes, right?
Someone else can learn from them,
but instead of the lesson,
they just learn to stay out of your way.

You have to. You get burned and it stinks. Those are the people you are glad you don't have to deal with ever again.

We're all suppose to learn from our mistakes. Unfortunately not everyone does.
