Every time you open your eyes You hope it's alright Wonderin' if it's all in your mind Hopin' that the end is in sight But it's right there when you turn around Everybody makes a mistake I know how you feel But somehow it's become a big deal And now it's almost unreal You may think there's a good explanation For the big, black stain on your reputation But you'll never live it down In one ear and straight out the other But there's just no way that you can recover And you'll never live it down You don't really have an excuse You're just havin' fun Still not even sure what you've done Didn't mean to hurt anyone But it's right there, when you turn around Everybody makes a mistake I know how you feel But somehow it's become a big deal And now it's almost unreal You may think there's a good explanation For the big, black stain on your reputation But you'll never live it down In one ear and straight out the other But there's just no way that you can recover And you'll never live it down And maybe it's not that bad Maybe the worst is past Livin' it down's the hardest part And even if you're confused Even if it's not true Even the sun has turned its back on you
