Lyrics[]
Fake friends
Unloyal lovers
People that for some reason I trusted
When I think back
On how naïve I was
Honestly, I'm kind of disgusted
But it doesn't stop, no woah
We all make mistakes
No it doesn't stop, no woah
We all learn to break
But we can learn to fix ourselves
Even if we're shattered
Stop acting like your mistakes
Are all that matters
I'm just traveling on this road
I feel like I'm dead, even though
I'm not at all alone
Cuz I've got
Real friends
My own special lover
I've learned from my mistakes now
But it doesn't stop, no woah
We all make mistakes
No it doesn't stop, no woah
We all learn to break
But we can learn to fix ourselves
Even if we're shattered
Stop acting like your mistakes
Are all that matters
But it doesn't stop, no woah
We all make mistakes
No it doesn't stop, no woah
We all learn to break
But we can learn to fix ourselves
