What Is a Mistake

What is a mistake?
What is a mistake?
One’s crowned for an action
Another burnt at the stake

What were the past ten years
Wasted or seized?
Time does as it pleases
Whether we dare or freeze

What is a mistake?
What is a mistake?
I’ll spend another bill
At least I am awake

Consider me a sinner
I’ll do much more to give
A momentary glimpse of Paris
Where love brought me to tears
Love brought me to tears
Love brought me to tears
