How I wish things had gone differently,
but things can only end one way.
Don't want to talk about it,
don't want to think about it,
keep my problems buried deep inside of me.
I have to learn to live with my mistakes-
I have to learn to live with myself.
I have to learn to live with my mistakes-
I have to learn to live with me.
Being alive means making mistakes and failing at some of the things that we try to accomplish- there are things that I have said and done that I am not necessarily proud of (this song refers more specifically to my feeling that I did not get to visit my friend enough when he had cancer). The impulse that occurs after these events transpire is to internalize everything (whether it is due to embarrassment, shame, or just the general desire to repress the memories of the scenarios surrounding our mistakes). As I have gotten older, one of the most useful things I have learned is that if I do make a mistake or fail, I should address that issue so that I do not repeat the same mistake of failure. With this perspective, I think it is easy to see that we can benefit from our failures, if we can learn to use them to be better than we would have been before our mistakes.
