Mistakes Were Made
[Verse 1]
I wish that back could go back, have a couple good laughs
Me and all my old friends layin' on the tarmac
Watchin' out for the cars, lookin' up at the stars
Wish that I could go back and give you part of my heart
Keep the other half until we get a little older
So that you can have a piece of me to tide you over
Really wish I had, but you moved on and now we're older
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel I miss a piece of me
Wish that I could find a remedy
But you're gone and now I'm losin' sleep
Thinkin'
[Chorus]
If I could have one last try
To go back and make you mine
I wouldn't mess it up this time
I never would have said goodbyе
I know I blew it in '09
But if I could make it right
I wouldn't mess it up this timе
I never would have said goodbye
Mistakes were made, but that's okay
I'll be better for it someday
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I wish that I could go back, listen to some old tracks
Like we used to do inside your dad's old Cadillac
Singin' 'bout the big moon, laughin' 'til we turn blue
I wish that I could go back, tell you that I love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel I miss a piece of me
Tryin' my best to find a remedy
But you're gone and now I'm losin' sleep
Thinkin'
[Chorus]
If I could have one last try
To go back and make you mine
I wouldn't mess it up this time
I never would have said goodbye
I know I blew it in '09
But if I could make it right
I wouldn't mess it up this time
I never would have said goodbye
Mistakes were made, but that's okay
I'll be better for it someday
[Bridge]
For it someday
I'll be better (For it someday)
I'll be better (For it someday)
I'll be better (For it someday)
I'll be better
[Chorus]
If I could have one last try
To go back and make you mine
I wouldn't mess it up this time
I never would have said goodbye
I know I blew it in '09
But if I could make it right
I wouldn't mess it up this time
I never would have said goodbye
Mistakes were made, but that's okay
I'll be better for it someday
