Olivia Jean - Mistakes lyrics

Oh the mistakes I made I drag a ball and chain I need an alibi Until the day I die I was punished for loving someone out my reach The jury didn't know we were as thick as thieves And as I get dizzy questioning what I've done wrong The accusations go on and go on and go on This is a Shakespearean kind of ordeal The girl's got no worth She must be out to steal So they put my name on the blacklist and said Wanted alive or dead Oh the mistakes I made I drag a ball and chain I need an alibi Until the day I die A chain reaction started by fallacy Caused everyone I trust to abandon me Just to repent for good The guilt will never be gone The reparations go on and go on and go on I can't be convinced My innocence is lost But at their expense I still pay the cost The road to redemption Never ceases to grow You've got miles to go Oh the mistakes I made I drag a ball and chain I need an alibi Until the day I die I will grow old shedding bitter tears Paralyzed by love throughout all my years What I once admired I have lived from afar And the consequences Have left me scarred All I ever wanted was to love But in this crowd you must push and shove Hide away your heart and change your name To escape the shame Oh the mistakes I made I drag a ball and chain I need an alibi Until the day I die Throw it all away Throw it all away Throw it all away
