Shouldn't Called It A Mistake

Title: "Shouldn't Call It a Mistake" Intro Yeah... This one from the heart. No excuses. Just the truth. Verse 1 I made a choice, can't call it a mistake, 'Cause deep inside I knew what was at stake. Now I'm staring at the damage that I made, Watching everybody's trust just fade away. My real mom don't even wanna hear my name, Every silence hits my heart just like the rain. If I could turn the clock back, I'd change that day, But time don't rewind no matter what I say. Chorus I ain't looking for forgiveness overnight, I know I gotta earn it, make it right. Every tear reminds me what I threw away, Now I'm praying for a better day. I'm sorry for the hurt that I caused, Living every day with the weight of my flaws. I'll keep standing, even through the pain, Hoping one day love can grow again. Verse 2 To the woman that I call my mom today, I hurt your son, and I carry that every day. Still you treat me like your own somehow, Even after everything, you're here right now. That kind of love can't ever be replaced, It's something that I'll never let go to waste. Thank you for the grace when I deserved none, For showing me a mother's love ain't done. Bridge And Dad, you stayed when the world turned cold, Never let me face this all alone. You didn't say I wasn't wrong, You just helped me find the strength to carry on. I'll never forget the way you stood by me, Even when I struggled to believe in me. Verse 3 Every day I'm trying to become someone new, Someone worthy of the love you two. I can't erase the past, I know that's true, But I can spend my life proving I grew. If tomorrow brings another chance my way, I'll protect the hearts I broke that day. Until then I'll keep my head held low, Learning from the pain so I can grow. Outro I shouldn't even call it a mistake... It was my decision. Now it's my responsibility. Thank you, Mom... Thank you, Dad... I love you both.
