Past Mistakes

No one can help you now

You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now

You're goin' slow, not standing still

You're ripe upon your window sill

You're going 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 (ah)

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 (ah)

Your past mistakes and tragedies

The reason you're mistrusting me

Watching as it casually unfolds (ah)

But what goes on inside? We'll never know

Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed

If every day just followed a script

With all your 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 (ah)

But what goes on inside, we'll never know (ah)

Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
