Do you run a red light sometimes
Do you tell a white lie 'cause it's easy
Do you keep what you find, like I do
Do you forget what you got
Do you never really wanna admit it
When you know that you're wrong
'cause I make perfect mistakes
Day after night and night after day
All my life I try to do better
Show me the way

[Chorus:]
I see it right now, no turning back
I found all the signs for the wrong direction
I am at the crossroads again
This time I know I'm not the same
And maybe it's alright to make a perfect mistake

Do you hurt the ones that you love
Words that were said you didn't mean it
Told too many lies like I did
Have you walked from the scene of the crime
Stole somebody's secret and blown it
It'll come back and get me sometime
'cause I make perfect mistakes
Day after night and night after day
All my life I try to do better
Show me the way

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be falling down like an angel
And the devil takes me when I'm weakest
When I'm lost, confused, when I wanna change my name
But this time I refuse to feel ashamed
'cause I make perfect mistakes
Day after night and night after day
All my life I try to do better
Show me the way

[Chorus]

And maybe it's alright to make a perfect mistake
