Way Too Many Mistakes

from Way Too Many Mistakes by Joey Cobra

/

lyrics

With the sunrise on my face I think of you
All the mistakes I made
All the regrets I can't shake
(And how it all comes back to you)

I've been so long afraid of heights
I couldn't live my life
Will this be my demise
(As if this life were mine to lose)

But suddenly, I came to be the man I am
If almost by accident
I could not be farther from a decent one
Or deserving of love

These are my hopes, these are my dreams
These are my greatest fears that I set free
If I died today I'll know that I had so much more to show
To show for myself, to show to the world
And what's left of my soul, I buried with that girl
but that can't be helped today

I hope when you say a prayer it does not fall on deaf ears
I stopped praying long ago when I thought I lost all fear
If I see you all again, it's been hard over these years
Don't shed a tear
These mistakes have got me here

But it's fucking hilarious how I've longed for my whole life
Now it's come down to this, to melodically shed light
But it's about circumstance and perspective I don't have
It's all been lost to chance
No I don't want my pride back

You know, honestly, I can't say I'm a man
Cause a man wouldn't daydream as much as I have

But I'll take my chances
I fucked up a thousand times, and gave up on life
I told way too many lies
But it's me I hate
The regrets that I despise are left in my Wake
They keep burning in my eyes

Will this final note be more than I can take
All I can see is way too many mistakes
