Kutless - Mistakes Lyrics

Empty reasons for my past
Excuses do not hold
I'm struck with my affliction
An inner perfect storm

Why didn't someone warn me
To save me from myself?
The pain is self inflicted
The decisions were my own
Now listen to history

There's so much I could say
There's so much that I've learned
Don't make my mistake
There's no time to delay
Take my hand and learn from my heartache

Take a look into the past
See all the things I've tried
Looking for a truth inside
But only finding pain

See these deep and painful scars
Cutting to the bone
Do you want to look like me?
With a broken empty life
Now listen to history

There's so much I could say
There's so much that I've learned
Don't make my mistake
There's no time to delay
Take my hand and learn from my heartache

Some things you may never understand
But knowledge from lessons, not your own
Can save you from the unknown which may stop your fall
(May stop your fall)

There's so much I could say
There's so much that I've learned
Don't make my mistake
There's no time to delay
Take my hand and learn from my heartache

There's so much I could say
(There's so much I could say)
There's so much that I've learned
Don't make my mistake

There's no time to delay
(No time to delay)
Take my hand and learn from my heartache
