Past Mistakes

No one can help you now You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now You're going slow, not standing still You're ripe upon your window sill You're growing through what you're going through You're innocent till you know it's true You fill your glass and tip your cup It's just the price of growing up Your past mistakes and tragedies Are laying bare in front of me Waiting for a spark to kill the cold Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed Sometimes you won't speak for days But nothing burns like hidden rage Not every scar is visible Walk gently in the time you fill Your past mistakes and tragedies Are laying bare in front of me Waiting for a spark to kill the cold Your past mistakes and tragedies The reason you're mistrusting me Watching as it casually unfolds But what goes on inside, we'll never know Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed If every day just followed a script With all you love worked into it Would you ever feel warm enough Or is it just the price of growing up? Your past mistakes and tragedies Are laying bare in front of me Waiting for a spark to kill the cold Your past mistakes and tragedies Are laying bare, disgusting me Watching as it casually unfolds But what goes on inside, we'll never know Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed --- Past Mistakes - The Goo Goo Dolls
