(Hogan)

shut your little mouth my son
keep it closed, dont tell no one
now lets pretend, we're blind again
if god forgives me - I know you can

hush now baby, say no word
daddy killed the mockingbird
stay with mommy hold her tight
she wont hurt you - daddy might

baby's in the cradle
mom is on the table
screaming while she's able

Chorus:
I will learn from your mistakes (x4)

sunday morning, what's the cost
without his love, they say I'm lost
the wooden house behind the cross
is where they say the sins are washed

But father with the book in hand
make us try to understand
why children cry when you are near
your sins are made behind the peer

look at your behavior
in the name of your savior
I'll do you a favor

Chorus:
I will learn from your mistakes (x4)

so many preyed for you, but I don't know if it ever got through
so many touched by you, but not in the way they wanted to
I don't know the reasons why
I don't know the reasons why
