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
