A Mistake

I should have held on to you
I should have looked into your eyes
Swallowed my pride and told the truth
Before committing the crime
I should have kissed your lips red
If only for the last time

But now you've gone
Left me here to watch this fire burn
Through all of this at least there is
One thing I've learned

What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Just when you thought you couldn't take it any longer
Now I've come too far
Just to turn and walk away
So there's still one thing I need to say
Once in a while we can all make mistakes

And now I'm lost in the crowd
Well, how can I be the only one left inside this town
Who made a small misstep
Could someone give me air
Cause I'm drowning in regret

And even though you left me here
To watch this fire burn
Through all of this at least there is
One thing I've learned

What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Just when you thought you couldn't take it any longer
Now I've come too far
Just to turn and walk away
So there's still one thing I need to say
Once in a while we can all make mistakes

In the name of the father
In the name of the son
At the end will I pay for
All these things that I've done

What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
Just when you thought you couldn't take it any longer
Now I've come too far
Just to turn and walk away
So there's still one thing I need to say
Once in a while we can all make mistakes...
