Del Amitri - Life By Mistake lyrics
[Del Amitri - Life By Mistake lyrics]
So you were right when you said
I was just a fake you just got used and when
You're used you're thrown away
Look at me now
Look at the lines upon my face
And look at my crowd
Haven't we all lived like it's a race?
And there are times I sense the
Trails of pain I leave
When over the road there hangs
Those springtime lynching trees
Just look around
Everyone's acting the same way
In a playground town where we can
All live like it's a race
Where we can all live for we can take
But haven't we all lived life by mistake?
And haven't we all chased time
Like a paper cup down the
Street and up the stairs?
And haven't we all found the door is shut
And the keys are everywhere
In this life by mistake?
And there are moments when
The heavens open wide
When you can hold your dreams
And see your future bright look at me now
Haven't I tried to do what's right?
The way I know how
I have acquired my life like a taste
And I have tried to live the right way
But I have lived my life by mistake
I was just a fake you just got used and when
You're used you're thrown away
Look at me now
Look at the lines upon my face
And look at my crowd
Haven't we all lived like it's a race?
And there are times I sense the
Trails of pain I leave
When over the road there hangs
Those springtime lynching trees
Just look around
Everyone's acting the same way
In a playground town where we can
All live like it's a race
Where we can all live for we can take
But haven't we all lived life by mistake?
And haven't we all chased time
Like a paper cup down the
Street and up the stairs?
And haven't we all found the door is shut
And the keys are everywhere
In this life by mistake?
And there are moments when
The heavens open wide
When you can hold your dreams
And see your future bright look at me now
Haven't I tried to do what's right?
The way I know how
I have acquired my life like a taste
And I have tried to live the right way
But I have lived my life by mistake
