I look at past mistakes
With no regrets.
You see I respect
Who I have become
The lessons I've learned.
My demeanor has changed.
I've sophisticated myself
With suffering and heartache
Yes I've caused plenty of heartache

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
Nameless strangers
Names I strain to say
Those who drained my days
Their names won't go away.

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
These holes in my heart
These girls have left
Stones in my kidney
Grow, I can't suppress
Tho I suppress names
So many names
Well only a few
But their weight
Dominates me.

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
I've grown from the pain
Blood, sweat, and tears
I learned to work for it
I learned to work through it

I look at past mistakes
With no regrets
I tripped and fell
But avoided
Running off the cliff
That came next
I've learned from my mistakes
