Worst Mistakes
Josh A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stressed all the time
I've been makin' my worst mistakes
Of my life, still been searching for purpose
I don't know why all this pain finally surfaced
Stressed out my mind, made mistakes but I'm learning

And I've been makin' all of the worst mistakes of my life
'Stakes of my life
Try so hard to keep it together
I'm runnin' for cover but that don't suffice

What's wrong with me?
Feels like all the songs we're making just ain't songs to me
Just a way to ventilate the demons calling me
Just a way to keep me sane so they won't bother me
And I'm sorry I don't answer when you call me
I know you've been worried
Really nothing 'gainst you just the way that I am
All the pain that I've been dealing with has gone to my head, no

Pain goes
On and on I'm thankful
I'm so fuckin' grateful
That I never let go

Screamin' all these melodies inside of my head
I hope I hear 'em when I'm fading, racing thoughts in my bed
I'll make you proud I won't quit now
When there's nowhere to run I'll stand my ground, no
I've been down one too many times
But I'll fight 'til I can find the light
I've been there done all that before
Don't care what's one more war?
I'll be here if you need me, I swear
I drag you down but I know you still care
And if you hear me, I'm so sorry
I'll be better in the morning

Pain goes
On and on I'm thankful
I'm so fuckin' grateful
That I never let go-oh-oh, oh-oh

And I've been making all of the worst mistakes of my life
'Stakes of my life
Try so hard to keep it together
I'm runnin' for cover but that don't suffice

(What's wrong with me?)
(What's wrong with me?)
Pain goes
On and on I'm thankful




I'm so fuckin' grateful
That I never let go-oh-oh, oh-oh

@jackmorris6566

i feel like the image shows how life can really be sometimes


one minute your'e on top of the fucking world and then you make one tiny mistake and you plummet back down to where you were


All of Josh's songs have such good meanings


He's the real MVP

Lyrics :-

Stressed all the time
I've been making my worst mistakes of my life
Still been searching for purpose
I don't know why all this pain finally surfaced
Stressed out my mind, made mistakes, but I'm learning
And I've been making all of the worst mistakes of my life (Stakes of my life)
I try so hard to keep it together
I'm running for cover, but that don't suffice

What's wrong with me?
Feels like all these songs I'm making just ain't songs for me
Just a way to vent all the demons calling me
Just a way to keep me safe so they won't bother me
And I'm sorry I don't answer when you call me I know you've been worried
Really nothing gets you just the way that I am
All the pain that I've been dealing with has gone to my head, no

Pain goes on and on, I'm thankful
I'm so fucking grateful that I never let go, ohh

Screaming all these melodies inside of my head
I hope I hear 'em when I'm fading racing thoughts in my bed
I'll make you proud
I won't quit now
When there's nowhere to run I'll stand my ground, oh
I've been down one too many times
But I'll fight 'til I can't find the light
I been there, done all that before
Don't care, what's one more war?
I'll be here if you need me
I swear I drag you down
But I know you still care
And if you hear me, I'm so sorry
I'll be better in the morning

Pain goes on and on I'm thankful
I'm so fucking grateful that I never let go, ohh
And I've been making all of the worst mistakes of my life (Stakes of my life)
I try so hard to keep it together
I'm Running for cover but that don't suffice

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?
Pain goes on and on, I'm thankful
I'm so fucking grateful that I never let go, ohh
