Mental Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have I made the right choice?
How many times have I been wrong?
That's no way to think
That's no way to be
If there is one thing I should believe in that one thing should be me
[Chorus]
Boy I'd like to hit rewind
You can say its not easy, you can say its not fair
I'll never let it happen again I swear
Twenty years of my life gone, and what I have learned?
I can't get back the time I waste
I can't get back the time I burn
We learned from my mistakes, I've learned from my regrets
Can't be down any longer, but I'll never forget
[Chorus]
