Mistakes
San Cisco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The things that you do do dado do dado do dododo

You're gonna look back on this as one of your mistakes
How can I let you know that your heart's gonna break?
He'll love you in the morning and he'll love you the next day
How's he gonna love you when he's ten thousand miles away?

I see a big part of me in you
That's why it hurts, girl you say that we're through
Missing part of me but girl I'm missing all of you

It's the things that you do do dado do dado dooo dododo
It's the things that you do do dado do dado dooo dododo
It's the things that you do

How hard you're gonna push her until she breaks?
I know that you have doubt in mistake
She'll love you for a lifetime, but that thought's not in your mind
She's gonna grow up, she's gonna grow up and leave you behind

I see a big part of me in you
That's why it hurts girl, you say that we're through
You're missing part of me but girl I'm missing all of you

It's the things that you do do dado do dado dooo dododo




It's the things that you do do dado do dado dooo dododo
It's the things that you do

Overall Meaning

The song "Mistakes" by San Cisco reflects on the pain and heartbreak that come with relationships. The lyrics touch on the idea that we may not always see our mistakes until we look back on our past, and in this case, it could be the mistake of letting someone go who truly cared for you. The chorus emphasizes the things that the other person does, and how those actions can impact the relationship, ultimately leading to heartbreak.


The verse, "How hard you're gonna push her until she breaks" reveals the vulnerability in relationships, where one person may not fully appreciate or acknowledge the love and affection given by the other. The singer questions the actions of the other person, asking how far they will go until they realize their mistake. The bridge, "I see a big part of me in you / That's why it hurts girl, you say that we're through / You're missing part of me but girl I'm missing all of you" portrays the pain and hurt felt by the singer in losing someone they felt connected to. The repetitive use of "do dado do dado do" reinforces the theme of the actions that ultimately led to the end of the relationship.


Overall, "Mistakes" highlights the importance of cherishing those we love and realizing the impact of our actions on the people we care about. It also touches on the fact that sometimes we may not fully appreciate or acknowledge someone's love until it's too late.
