Mistakes

Every time I make a mistake That mistake creates another vulture circling Hanging there, waiting To remind me of that time I was less than I could be

There are many of them there It scares me to think That another could appear Other people must be able to see them They must remember that time That I was less than they wanted me to be

With so many mistakes over my head That everyone else can see They must be thinking to themselves That something's wrong with me Deep down, they must know what I know That I'm a mistake

But in time I learned That other people don't see them No, they don't care, because they've made mistakes too Even though I make mistakes that does not make me a mistake
