The King's Parade - Mistakes

I’m a good man, I learn from my mistakes
I guess I must love learnin’ then
Cause I do ‘em all again
But lately, lately I’ve been wonderin’
If I could ever hang on to anything that won’t fade away

Don’t you hold back ‘cause I know that you feel it
It’s your call but you gotta believe me
Don’t you hold back or you’ll be the first one

Leavin’, Leavin’ without nothin’
Holdin’ on to someone else like there ain’t no other way

Oh it’s easy, at least that’s what you told me
It’ll pass in a year or so, just let the fire burn out slow
But just maybe, maybe in a moment
Right before you make up your mind
You’ll turn around and see the flames

Don’t you hold back ‘cause I know that you feel it
It’s your call but you gotta believe me
Don’t you hold back or you’ll be first one

Leavin’, Leavin’ without nothing
Holdin’ on to someone else like there ain’t no other way

Oh, the end of all your days
Flashing by your face and leavin’ with no trace
There ain’t no other way
There ain’t no other way
There ain’t no other way
There ain’t no other way
You leave it all to fate
And call it a mistake

Oh, don’t hold back
Hold on to what you need (yeah!)

Stay right here and you won’t turn around
for the rest of all your days
