Lyrics

  1. I told you lies, I was unwise
    You let me know, I let you go
    Why not be friends? I’ll make amends
    If you will just forgive me

Chorus
We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we’ve made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said “Goodbye” to you

  1. Tho’ my neglect cost your respect
    Must I in vain seek it again?
    We’ve passed the worst, were things reversed
    I’d be the first to help you
