Mistakes I Made Lyrics

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 would 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 would 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 hello..or 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 would 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

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 would 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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
