Mistakes I've Made
Eelke Kleijn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gonna live my life
I can't never leave
Gonna learn to love
Find out what love is

Only hell knows if heaven exist
Who knows if it's better than this?!
Pray I'd never learn from mistakes that I've made!

There's no future there's no past
Beating hearts are all we have
Getting stronger break by break
From all of these mistakes I've made
Mistakes I've made
What path remain
Mistakes I've, mistakes I've made

Gonna feed my soul
Hoping never rests
Tell them we are young
We're not wise
We're just cruel
Loving fools looking for Paradise

Only hell knows if heaven exist
Who knows if it's better than this?!
Pray I'd never learn from mistakes that I've made!

There's no future there's no past
Beating hearts are all we have
Getting stronger break by break
From all of these mistakes I've made
Mistakes I've made
What path remain,
Mistakes I've, mistakes I've made

There's no future there's no past
Beating hearts are all we have
Getting stronger break by break
From all of these mistakes I've made
Mistakes I've made




What path remain,
Mistakes I've, mistakes I've made

Overall Meaning

There's a certain sense of acceptance of the inevitability of errors and regrets, but the artist also emphasizes the importance of learning from them and growing stronger with each obstacle.
