Do you run a red light sometimes

Do you tell a white lie cos 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

Cos 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

Cos 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

Cos 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
