Mistakes Lyrics & Chords By 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 expenseI 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
