Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
And I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And I know, yes, I know
That I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again
I'd never make that same mistake again
I'd never make that same mistake again
Oh, I'd never make that same mistake again
