I Have Made Mistakes Lyrics
I have made mistakes, I continue to make them
the promises I've made, I continue to break them
and all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them
but nothing is a waste if you learn from it
and the sun, it does not cause us to grow
it is the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
we have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us
but we will overcome the apathy that has made us
because we are not alone in the dark with our demons
and we have made mistakes
but we've learned from them
and the sun, it does not cause us to grow
it is the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
and oh my heart, how can I face you now?
when we both know how badly I have let you down
and I am afraid of all that I've built
fading away
the promises I've made, I continue to break them
and all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them
but nothing is a waste if you learn from it
it is the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
but we will overcome the apathy that has made us
because we are not alone in the dark with our demons
and we have made mistakes
but we've learned from them
it is the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
when we both know how badly I have let you down
and I am afraid of all that I've built
fading away

Hello My Old Heart

Like the Dawn

The Lament of Eustace Scrubb

I Was Wrong

Cold Is the Night

Incredibly powerful song. The meaning is pretty clear: the struggles you face build character, define you, "strengthen your soul," "make you whole."
But then, in the last verse, after the first false stop, there is doubt?
