Same Mistakes Lyrics

I've made a lot of poor choices 

Some unsavory friends

I've followed paths that came to very bad ends 

I've followed bad advice 

More than once or twice 

Sometimes I paid a heavy price

I've had some real close calls 

Things that might have turned out poorly

Some friends who weren't so lucky

I miss them sorely

Made dumb decisions 

Wasn't always very smart 

If I could go back and get a fresh start 

There'd be more than a few things 

I'd do the same 

Any outcome other than this 

Would be a shame 

So I've my got a few lessons 

To pass on to you kid

But your choices you'll make all alone

I don't want you to make 

The same mistakes that I did  

I want you to make all your own 

Well your choices are your own 

Despite whatever I've planned

Can't pick your battles or your Friends 

Won't be holding your hand 

Ask my permission 

 I'd probably say no

That doesn't mean 

I wouldn't want you to go

Well your choices are your own 

And the consequences too

So remember that you'll own 

All the dumb shit you do

And you'll do some dumb shit

You're too smart not to

I know you know you shouldn't 

But I know you sometimes you got to

On a list of regrets 

If I were to make one

There'd be more things I wish I had 

Than things I wish I hadn't done

So I've got a few lessons 

To pass on to you kid

But your choices you'll make all alone

I don't want you to make the same 

Mistakes that I did  

I want you to make all your own 

So I've got a few lessons 

To pass on to you kid

But your choices you'll make all alone

I don't want you to make the same 

Mistakes that I did  

I want you to make all your own 

So I've got a few lessons 

To pass on to you kid

But your choices you'll make all alone

I don't want you to make the same 

Mistakes that I did  

I want you to make all your own

Break some shit of your own 

Make mistakes of your own

I don't want you to make 

The same mistakes that I did  

I want you to make all your own
