It really is a miracle that I have come this far
Without a hope without a prayer without a guiding star
In spite of my nativity and many dreams betrayed,
I know I would not be here now
but for Mistakes I Made

But for Mistakes I Made
Who knows who I might be
Some other heart some other soul
Some other destiny
But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid
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

But for Mistakes I Made
Who knows where I might be
Some other place some other time
Some other destiny
But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid
I might have missed it all
But for Mistakes I Made

These things have taught me what is real
How to laugh how to cry how to love without regret
and when to say helloor 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

But for Mistakes I Made
Who knows who I might be
Some other heart some other soul
Some other destiny
But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid
I might have missed it all
But for Mistakes I Made
I might have missed it all
But for Mistakes I Made
