Last night
I could tell that you were listening
I could tell that you were wishing
You were older, and it breaks my heart
Oh, 'cause I hope
You can find a way of living
You can find your own forgiveness
So when you fall, you don't fall far
'Cause I don't want you to follow me down those
Same crooked roads to the same old places
I just want you to go your own way
You don't have to chase down the same dreams I did
A heart like yours is hard to break
So go and make your own mistakes
Last night
I was painting you a picture
And I'm not proud of those decisions
But you needed to know the truth
Just 'cause they're mine
You don't have to take 'em with you
You'll come across them if you're meant to
But I hope you just walk on by
'Cause I don't want you to follow me down those
Same crooked roads to the same old places
I just want you to go your own way
You don't have to chase down the same dreams I did
A heart like yours is hard to break
So go and make your own mistakes
Oh, you can make your own mistakes
Take as long as you take
'Cause I don't want you to follow me down those
Same crooked roads to the same old places
I just want you to go your own way
You don't have to chase down the same dreams I did
A heart like yours is hard to break
So go and make your own mistakes
A heart like yours is bound to break
So go and make your own mistakes
