...I might have missed it all
But for mistakes I made

So many times I've tried to change things out of my control.
The jealousy and all the rage that swallowed me up whole.
The years that I spent loving those who did not feel the same.
The times I didn't trust myself, with only me to blame.

These things have taught me what is real
How to laugh, how to cry, how to love
without regret and when to say hello..or goodbye

I know whatever comes my way.. my dues have all been paid.
For you would not be in my life, but for mistakes I made ...

Mistakes I Made
