Teenage Mistakes Lyrics

I lived a double life and lied for far too long

Told everyone we were never together and left her crying alone

Broke her heart into pieces. I was so selfish

Is there anyway you can forgive my teenage mistakes

Met up plenty nights and you knew that something was wrong

Asked if what our relationship had before was all gone

I denied it and said our bond has never been so strong

What a bluff. I can't believe I kept lying for so long

I knew that you would find it all out eventually

The terrible things I did while you were out earning your degree

Finally came with the courage and the integrity

To tell you the evil I'd done so unquestionably

At that time I knew our love had come to a conclusion

Broke her heart in half while I lived in an illusion

Wanted to feel fine so I put her in seclusion

Added upon the lies and blamed it on confusion

I threw our amazing memories out into the trash

I can't believe I didn't realize the beauty of what we had

All together it had me left feeling just abashed

But ignored it and blocked it out just hoping it would pass

It was so stupid that I would fall for lust

Looking back now, it fills me with disgust

This left the both of us feeling crushed

I should've never broken your trust

I lived a double life and lied for far too long

Told everyone we were never together and left her crying alone

Broke her heart into pieces. I was so selfish

Is there anyway you can forgive my teenage mistakes

Sometime had gone by and I found out I was suffering

The new life I was living was so discomforting

And in the back of my head I heard the muttering

You don't know what you got until its gone was uncovering

Two more years down the drain trapped with a terrible person

The bad experiences left me feeling hurting

Thought to fix it all it would take would to be start overworking

Take my mind off things but all it led was disconcerting

So early in the morning I came knocking at your door

Your mom came and answered; didn't remember me from before

It was still dark in the sky. It was only four

Then she remembered and let me in. I was crying on your floor

Regained my composure and called you up later

Upon realizing you filled with rage and called me traitor

There's no way to blame her because I did violate her

Can we bring back the past and have what we were

I don't know, but we hung out that day

Went to your uni- so I could convey

Try to catch up and bring back old days

I should've known it couldn't be back to that way

I lived a double life and lied for far too long

Told everyone we were never together and left her crying alone

Broke her heart into pieces. I was so selfish

Is there anyway you can forgive my teenage mistakes

What was supposed to be our future has now become our past

I don't know how I let my conscience slip away so fast

The orange leaf charm you gave me has now become recast

Before it was a resemblance of the love we had amassed

First I dropped it off and left it on your doorknob hanging

But your mom found it first and held onto it and I'm thanking

She gave it back to me but I know it can't be like it was then

Now its become a symbol to remind myself to never cheat again

I lived a double life and lied for far too long

Told everyone we were never together and left her crying alone

Broke her heart into pieces. I was so selfish

Is there anyway you can forgive my teenage mistakes
