American Classic - Mistakes

You always seem to burn your bridges
And every chance you find your way back
However this time you've crossed my limit
I can no longer put on a false front
Just say I'm tired of trying to find an excuse in your defense
Just say I'm tired of making exceptions to ease the offense
You never really know what you've got til' you're down and you're begging for it
You never really know how to make a mistake til' you lose
And I can tell by the look on your face that you think you deserve it
You only deserve to be bound to the truth
You never fail to retrace patterns
I have watched you walk before
Now it's time to pull your own weight
I'm not gonna be there as you fall
Just say I'm tired of trying to find an excuse in your defense
Just say I'm tired of making exceptions to ease the offense
You never really know what you've got til you're down and you're begging for it
You never really know how to make a mistake til you lose
And I can tell by the look on your face that you think you deserve it
You only deserve to be bound to the truth
