Mistakes Lyrics - Bathtub Love Killings - Olivia Jean

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
