Some Mistakes

about

Written sometime in 2004

lyrics



Some mistakes never leave
like the stain on this shirt
getting darker with time
from the place I made you hurt


This land is parched and dying
‘cause of me
all it grows is dead


Some mistakes never fade
blood under my nails
in the clothes that you gave me
walking on your ground


I said I’d never fail
Said I wouldn’t break, and wouldn’t end


and I feel forgiven
but don’t feel like I ever should’ve been


I seen you bloody before
but never so badly
and never by my own hand


mixing with the dust of this old land
