about

So, this song was written in the same week as 'It's Not About You', & it's actually not about the same person. it's more about regret & how messed up everything felt.
I just felt like life was completely hopeless & I was being stupid because I felt empty & then as a result I felt disappointed with myself.

So, then, as a resolve in the bridge of the song, I really feel the need to move on & at least try & forget the past, even if I can't really erase it. the lyric -'I'll just get a bigger hammer'- is one of my favourites on the album. :)

lyrics

03 My Mistakes.

Leaning on the walls, I'm fragile & I know I was wrong.
Be fair, no favourites, I get what I should & no more when the time comes.
A string of exploits follow me, shattered in two, admit to me.
you know I can keep a secret.
It's so clear in my mind, I know what I've done.
covering up my steps where I left off.

My Mistakes & all I've done overtake, can only fail to sustain,
i'm getting close now, where you'll take it, go back to the beginning again.
In the place I lie, I'm ashamed, a bad track for my name.
getting close now, then you'll take it, go back to the beginning again.

A mouth lacking a brain. words are set free at the wrong time.
Be honest, the staple could be left unsaid in the state i'm in.
Breathing again, in my unbelief, forgive me.
memories surround me.
In filtering, I block it out, but I'll wait to kiss the past & leave it behind.

No I'm not scared of the future.
I don't have time to analyze or live in the past tense.
I'll just get a bigger hammer, get rid of the problem.
This is something I've thought through. I know what I've done, it's gonna catch up with me, I can't escape.
