I counted my mistakes like dying stars

Every night reminds me who we are

Words I never said, hands I let go

A lifetime of wrongs carved deep in my soul

I thought time would come and clean my mess

Sweep all my wreckage, my bitterness

I ran from the eyes that tried to save me

Swore too loud that I’d finally change me

I put my pride before real love

Confused speed with the long way around above

I laughed when I should’ve cried

Now I carry all the things I broke inside

Every step sounds like a confession

Every silence stares, no discretion

I wanted to be strong, I was just stone

Now I pay for walls I built alone

The errors of a lifetime follow me home

They whisper my name when I sleep too soon

I made promises I let decay

Now I live with what I couldn’t keep my way

The errors of a lifetime, my stage

Regrets hanging off every page

I walk straight, but the shadow stays

I’m doing better, but I don’t go far away

I let real people slip through my hands

For mirages shaped like who I am

I chose escape instead of flame

Betrayed my dreams just to look brave

I spoke too fast, loved too wrong

Played the tough guy, I was just not strong

I said “tomorrow” way too many times

Now tomorrow’s already crossed the line

I’m learning how to ask for grace

Without hiding behind excuses’ face

I clear my ruins, stone by stone

Even if some faults stay etched in bone

The errors of a lifetime follow me home

They whisper my name when I sleep too soon

I made promises I let decay

Now I live with what I couldn’t keep my way

The errors of a lifetime, my stage

Regrets hanging off every page

I walk straight, but the shadow stays

I’m doing better, but I don’t go far away

I can’t rewrite yesterday

But I can stop the war I play

If my faults are all I am

Then I’ll make something beautiful from my nights again

The errors of a lifetime…

It’s not the end — it’s a beginning that survives.
