Brian Nicholas McFadden (born 12 April 1980) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of the Irish boyband Westlife. He is now a judge on Australia's Got Talent.
Following his departure from Westlife, McFadden released his debut solo album, Irish Son which peaked within the top 5 on both the Danish and Irish Albums Charts, and produced his first two No. 1 solo singles "Real to Me" in four European countries and also "Almost Here", a duet with his now ex-fiancée Delta Goodrem which gained a platinum accreditation in Australia. "Like Only a Woman Can", the lead single from his second album, Set in Stone (2008), became his third No. 1 single as a solo artist. In 2010, McFadden scored his fourth No. 1 with the hit single, "Just Say So" featuring American rapper, Kevin Rudolf and gained his second Australian platinum accreditation. The single received a nomination at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards for Most Popular Australian Single.
McFadden was born in Dublin, Ireland and was raised Catholic. Throughout his younger years, he always had an interest in singing, dancing and football. Along with his sister Susan, McFadden attended the Billie Barry Stage School in Dublin which led him to doing stage and TV roles, including a role in the Irish TV show Finbar's Class, a comedy revolving around a group of student-swingers. In early 1998, he formed a pop-R&B group with his friends, Tim and Darragh called Cartel, and performed live gigs in Dublin pubs.
Delta Lea Goodrem (born 9 November 1984) is an Australian singer-songwriter and pianist. Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, she enrolled in dancing, acting, singing and piano classes at a young age. She began her career as a child actress, starring in various television shows and rose to prominence in 2002 in the Australian soap opera Neighbours as Nina Tucker.
Venturing into the music industry, Goodrem recorded an album entitled Delta through an independent label, which was never released due to legal reasons. Subsequently signing to Sony at the age of 15, she released her multi-platinum album Innocent Eyes which topped the Australian albums chart and UK Albums Chart. It became one of the highest selling albums in Australian history, with 4.5 million copies sold worldwide and all five of its singles— "Born to Try", "Lost Without You", "Innocent Eyes", "Not Me, Not I", and "Predictable"—reaching number one in Australia and three of them reaching the top ten in the UK. This gave her the record for becoming the first ever artist to have five Number 1 singles from a debut album.
No, I don't feel a thing.
Life's going by me. And still I say,
Oh God! I'm making the same mistakes.
Low? I'm on empty.
Try to erase all the bad times.
Free? I don't seem to be.
My soul remains tied to your life.
Every breath you breathe deep, I feel you circulating through
I'll never forgive myself again.
Nothing has changed
I´m still the man I used to be
sometimes too loud
sometimes too proud
sometimes cruel like a child
so nothing has changed and I
don´t want it to stay this way
Why do we have to make mistakes
on our own to grow
why can´t we learn from these mistakes
the otherone did before
So, nothing has changed
still trust my instinkts
but hate it to be right
cause I may warn you
as much as I want
it won´t help
you´ll just walk ahead
so, nothing has changed and I
don´t want it to stay this way
Why do we have to make mistakes
on our own to grow
why can´t we learn from these mistakes
We look back trying to understand
All our absurd and stupid mistakes
We will go forward
We'll forget our sins
We'll struggle with our memories
Our hardest memories which won't repeat again
Come say hi to the lone ranger, some say stranger I've
been this way since the beginning, from the cradle.
Now they label me that arrogant fuck I ain't
complaining how can they judge my mind if my intentions
are stable.
To be honest i'm kind of a straight to the point
figure, mr. Confront u ask and I deliver
Don't brag or boast I rock a rollercaost(er), that
means I take u on my ride and bring u back to the
beginning.
I make mistakes, but try to keep doing things right,
take the blame for all the feelings that you hide
That's all I can do I can't read u inside, u see u got
yours and i've got my mind and that's life.
I won't complain about about the live i live, I won't
complain about the things i did, I'm roller coasting,
got my mind playing tricks, but my intentions are as
good as it gets, just like this.
Once u make some mistakes in your life, how long must
one carry that weight.
Will there be pain, scars, tears, nothing but cries,
when is one price paid.
I never saw it coming, it's like I just got hit, I
cannot even explain my mind and hair in a twist.
Just don't know how to act by experience, cuz I do what
I feel like in an accident.
So blame me for doing the things I do best, I manifest
like that so get it off your chest,
but nevertheless I can't help the way I express, my
intentions are good.
So don't you go feeling offended, just let it all go,
rest your soul and let it breathe for a minute.
There ya go. Let me finish with introducing my self
proper, Llew the issue: Perona non grata.
I won't complain about about the live i live, I won't
complain about the things i did, I'm roller coasting,
got my mind playing tricks, but my intentions are as
good as it gets, just like this.
Once u make some mistakes in your life, how long must
one carry that weight.
Will there be pain, scars, tears, nothing but cries,
when is one price paid.
Sometimes it hits me by surprise, it hurts but still it
opens up my eyes. Stayin focused fuck that hocus-pocus,
u catch me provokin cuz i settle for love. I run that
river full of that salty water, I'm almost done crying,
almost at that border. So order me some food for
through to go, i'm gone, I'm out, I'm ghost, I'm home,
I'm boiling over the top
and i can't hide it
and this is not going stop
and I can't fight it
I'm gonna fall into the dirt
an unstable head and nothing that works
I looked and I can't find
What its gonna take
I can not rewind
all my fucking mistakes
My lines about to snap
and no one called it
How will you react
to a psychotic
I guess my nuts
and bolt are loose
If you don't believe me
I can show you the proof
I looked and i can't and I can't find
Well alright
I'll put my heart into one more thing
Put my life on one more page
That I know everyone will ignore
And alright
I'll let you in on one more thing
Pull my faith and one more dream
Cant ignore me much longer
For much longer
So I pay for everyone elses mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea i'm so alive
I feel like im down
What ever happened to faith
What ever happened to all the signs
Always have shown me the lane
It seems like i've wasted all my prime
But I remember
Feeling so high
All that i ever remember is all that fucks up and we're living a lie
Pay for everyone elses mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea i'm so alive
I feel like i'm down
Even after a kick in the head
Realise when your dead inside
You'll find a way
To kill the light
That's driving you insane
(Right now)
Now I feel the sun is up this
(Right)
Just kill me now if this is going to be
So I pay for everyone elses mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea i'm so alive
I feel like i'm down
Even after a kick in the head
Realise when your dead inside
You'll find a way
To kill the light
Above the garage, we climbed up the stairs
Welcome to no good
I led you up there, but you were too young
Welcome to no good
Just remember that we all make mistakes
And no one big slip up makes it all, all go away
I stepped over the line
But whose side are you on?
I know where I stand
And I don't blame you
(And I stand up)
We spent too long in that other world
(Just remember that we all make mistakes
And that I, I'm not going away)
One big slip up nearly took it away
No, no, no I don't blame you
(That would do no good)
And thank hell that we're moving on, moving on
(I used to be myself, just a little)
'Cause one big slip up makes it all, all go away
I step over the line
But whose side are you on?
I know where I stand
I need you
But it's not normal if I refuse to be by myself
I need you
But it's not normal if I refuse to be by myself
Above the garage, we climbed up to sin
And up into no good
Just remember that we all make mistakes
And no one big slip up makes it all go away
I led you up there, and I love you
(I love you) You know I do (I do)
Just remember that we all make mistakes
(And that I, I)
And no one big slip up makes it all go away
I step over the line
But whose side are you on?
I know where I
I need you
But it's not normal if I refuse to be by myself
I need you
(Verse 1)
It's hard to breathe and hard to run when ya lungs blacken
Coughing up blood, like, what the fuck happened?
Raising my risk of cancer's the answer homie
But after drinking something, it's nothing, like puffing a bogey
Now I could blame the same product placement in movies, all the commericals of Scarface in a jacuzi
But now I'm living it
Damn, I should have never took that first cigarette
I fucked up like your girl was riding on top of me
I shoulda took it to trial, I never got to plea
But this ain't a Christian nation, motherfucker please
America never taught me to turn the other cheek
Cos I'm from Harlem, the north of Manhattan
We knock niggas out and make them bounce like Ricky Hatton
But wilding on the corner got me turned back from the Canadian border
I knew she was a virgin, when I first met her
Rocking stockings popping out of the Catholic school sweater (?)
Mom told her she could do better than a criminal
17 year old pyschotic trying to be lyrical
I never meant to break her heart or fuck up her life
But I was careless, instead of treating her right
I seen her again at some club stripping and wondered if I could have made her life different
(Verse 2)
I joined the army looking for money to go to college
But they ain't paid me a quarter of what they fucking promised
Extending my tour, treating me like a sucker
That's the reason officers get fragged, motherfucker
Don't give me speeches on how you respect and you love me
But no body armour and a lightly armoured humvee?
My family's lonely and you want me to re-enlist for 30 grand homie?
Yeaah, when I was young, I got signed to a record label
The deal looked so good when it was on the table
They paid for my cable, cribs, cars and jewellery
The studios, the women, there's nothing they wouldn't do for me
Except stop screwing me and publishing my royalties
How the fuck are you dog when there's no loyalty?
Word to the street, I should have gone independent like Immortal Technique
(Verse 3)
Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them
Others try to block the memories and just delete them
But I keep them as a reminder, they're not killing me
And I thank god for teaching me humility
Son, remember, when you fight to be free
See things how they are and not how you'd like them to be
Cos even when the world has fallen on top of me
Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy
Knowing what's wrong doesn't imply that you're right
And it's another one you suffered to apply in life (?)
And I'm no rookie
What's life without you baby
I know I made a lot of mistakes
And I ask you for forgiveness
And if lovin you is a crime, then I plead guilty
[Chorus 2X: Pras Michel]
(1) Hey yo I made my mistakes, and real talk is
(2) Made my mistakes, and real talk is
This time I gotta do whatever it takes cause I
{"hear you call"} and I ain't leavin without you
Goin nowhere, yeah, I'm standin right here
[Pras Michel]
I need you more than ever before, girl for sure
You know, it's all fair in, love and war
Through, health and sickness, rich or poor
Yeah life never seem to tell us what it has in store
But you're my angel in the mornin when the rain falls
At my beck and call whether I ball or stall
Never intimidated, we can make reservations
Polly 'bout Revelations...
Get deep like subway stations, you love the conversation
You love this nappy-haired, natural born Haitian
Check it, make you feel good like Dr. Feelgood
Party in the hood baby, it's all good
Never mind that, forget 'bout the small talk
Let's conjure up some thoughts, and take a short walk
Up the driveway, straight to my crib
Commitin sex crime and the kids'll be the bid
[Chorus]
[Pras Michel]
I'm just a, simple man, can't you, understand
If you know like I know you know I got a master plan
Ice up that finger with this, wedding band
Now our bank card reads Mr. and Mrs. Geechy Dan
Share wit'chu, my life of sin
Scripted with this liquid pen, come again
Mighta lost a couple battles but this war we win
Even though our enemies baby lies within
Wit'chu by my side I got nothin to lose
You and I against the world, what the hell we got to prove?
Unconditional love, let's swing an episode
I'm stocked up and my mojo is overload
I adore you baby, from head to toe
And you know my style is so unbelievable
But I've made my mistakes and I do realize
Please listen babycakes cause I do apologize
[Chorus]
[Pras Michel]
I like to, greet the sun, and walk among the stars
Watch you from afar even though men are from Mars
The way I treated you and made your life so hard
Can't really express it all in 48 bars
Cause sometimes in life we all have pain and sorrow
Wit'chu by my side I look forward to tomorrow
I give you everything I own, you shelter me
You taught me how to cry, baby you set me free
I know love don't love nobody
If that's to be true don't rain on this party
We'll bang all night to kill the sunrise
I'm the first one you see when you open your eyes
When it's all said and done girl you're my soulmate
I made some mistakes, hope I'm not too late
From the bottom of my heart hope my light shines through
Like Donny Hathaway I wrote this song for you, ju know
After all the times you've been turned around
Will you never be ready now?
After all the times that we stood your ground
Will you never be steady now?
Everybody makes mistakes
Some do most of all
I just don't have what it takes
They're singing as they fall
Everybody makes mistakes
Some more than the rest
Yeah, that's what some do best
But you won't be distressed
And of course we'll send the check
You can just write in the amount
Just let us know the house and town
So if you're going to wreck
You can still be safe and sound
And just let us know and we'll come down
Everybody makes mistakes
The phone lines are shot through
Causing everybody pain
Sitting in for us and you
Everybody makes mistakes
Some more than the rest
Yeah, that's what some do best
But you won't be distressed
You say, "I'll break all the way down
And then all these pieces will be easy to sort out"
Well, we can't wait
I need some time to make my way
Through all this empathy
I make no claims on why today
Was never meant to be
Don't let me go
Pure emotion is telling you so
Then I'm saved
Don't let me go
With the kind of mistake
You're ready to make again
I've tried so hard to understand
Why you never planned to stay
I'm tired of being the lonely man
Cause it never went my way
We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said goodbye to you
We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
you can't imagine what i felt
those days everything fixed itself
worries that didn't have want to sail
leave me i know i was no angel
coz i learned the hard way
made of mistake after mistake
you can't imagine my surprise
to hear that you moved on and deserve a new life
where was I when all of this took place ?
please don't say that it's too late
guess you learn the hard way
keep on making mistakes after mistakes
you were supposed to be
you were suppositely to be the only one that knew me
i was supposed to be
wasn't i suppositely the one you loved truly
but i learned the hard way
made those mistakes after mistakes
so i learned the hard way
won't make those mistakes again
Life goes by, On and on.
How you truth might end it all.
Then I wonder, You and I, Side by side.
once again I saved your life
Then I wonder.
How long it takes that you learn from your mistakes?
Life goes by, On and on.
You desicde what it's for.
And I wonder.
I can't hide, it's all the same.
I keep my dream, one more day.
And I wonder.
How long it takes that you learn from your mistakes?
People tell me, boy you?re crazy
Some people say that I?m nuts
For trying to get back together with you baby
They say that once is enough
I should never have left you ?cause now I need you
Sometimes it happens that way
I come back like a fool who?s believing
No matter what they might say
I don?t want to hear another word
Don?t need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
I can make mistakes myself just fine
I?ve got a good friend who knows my trouble
He thinks I?m wasting my time
He said go out and have some fun she?s not the only one
But I can?t leave her behind
So, I don?t want to hear another word
Don?t need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
People tell me, boy you're crazy Some people say that I'm nuts For trying to get back together with you baby They say that once is enough
I should never have left you 'cause now I need you Sometimes it happens that way I come back like a fool who's believing No matter what they might say
I don't want to hear another word Don't need your well thought out advice Though I thank you all for being kind I can make mistakes myself just fine
I've got a good friend who knows my trouble he thinks I'm wasting my time He said go out and have some fun she's not the only one But I can't leave her behind

It's not so easy to find out later
About the necessary knowledge for survival
You think you know enough to get you through life
But find out too late of chances passed by
An early start is not so important
But timing is most essential
Opportunity gone, is gone forever
You never know how much it could have been
And once gone, gone forever
You will find out to your cost
A better use can be made of your time
Don't think that life is easy
You may never get a lucky break
They'll put you down, cold and unknown
A total failure from womb to grave
(Verse)
Looking in the mirror
My own reflection
Can’t stand to look into my eyes
It’s been eating me up
The things we’re hiding
I’m so done with those lies
(Verse)
Now I’ve cheated, I’ve miss-leaded, baby oh oh
Forgot your birthday, it was on Thursday, I am so oh
By the time you got you cryin but you know
I’m only human
(Pre-Hook 1)
I did some things that I can’t erase
I’m not looking for no one to blame
Think it’s time I’ve told you everything
I’m not who you think
(Hook)
Now you know who I really am
Now you know where I’ve been
I’m only hoping that you’ll understand
Sometimes I make…
Mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes
Sometimes I make mistakes
(Verse)
I’m so possessive, overprotecting
Wanna know who what and where
It’s ‘cause I love you
But maybe too much
But I’m only human
(Pre-Hook 2)
Now you know what you don’t see
Only comes from insecurity
I’m not perfect and I’ll never be
I’m not who you think
(Hook)
Now you know who I really am
Now you know where I’ve been
I’m only hoping that you’ll understand
Sometimes I make…
Mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes
Sometimes I make mistakes
Empty reasons for my past
Excuses do not hold
I'm struck with my affliction
An inner perfect storm
Why didn't someone warn me
To save me from my self
The pain is self inflicted
The decisions were my own
Now listen to history
There's so much I could say
There's so much that I've learned don't make my mistake
There's no time to delay
Take my hand and learn from my heartache
Take a look into the past see all the things I've tried
Looking for a truth inside but only finding pain
See these deep and painful scars, cutting to the bone
Do you want to look like me? With a broken, empty life
Some things you may never understand
But knowledge from lessons not your own
Erreurs
Je sais que je les porterai toute ma vie
Mes erreurs
Comme de celle
Tu sais laquelle
Quand on a coupe mes cordes
Je me suis envolee ailleurs
On a coupe mes cordes
Et je ne redescendais pas
Mistakes I've made
I know, I'll live with them all my life
Mistakes I've made
Like the one, you know the one
And I had my strings cut
I went flyin' around
And I had my strings cut
I wasn't coming down
These days I'm only happy when I cannot move
These days I'm only happy when I'm tied down
Next to you
Not with my strings cut
When I'm flyin' around
Not with my strings cut
When I'm not coming down
Mistakes I've made
I know, I'll live with them all my life
Mistakes I've made
Like the one, you know the one
And I had my strings cut
I went flyin' around
And I had my strings cut
They just don't listen to me
This doesn't happen to just anyone
I'm so sad to go through all this
All on my own...
I never wanted you to stay
You always, always had your way
Your way!
They just don't listen to me
This doesn't happen to anyone
I'm just sad to go through all this
Out on my own
I couldn't bare to see your face
My life is not, is not just your game
Your game!
They just don't listen to me
This doesn't happen to anyone
I'm just sad to go through all this
Out on my own...
Let's go!
They just don't listen to me
This doesn't happen to anyone
I'm just sad to go on with this
Out on my own...
They just don't listen to me
So why should I listen to just anyone?
I'm just sad to go on with this
You say your sorry but you don’t cry,
There you call with your head held high,
Play the angel with the broken wings,
Push my button and pull my strings.
You keep talking me round, You keep talking me round,
Leave me senseless,
You put words in my mouth, You put words in my mouth,
‘Till im defenceless.
My first mistake was loving you,
My worst mistake was giving you a second chance,
Cause you tore me up and you called it love,
You made a fool out of me,
My last mistake was thinking I won’t make the same
mistake again.
Some people learn but they never live,
Lost the fight so they just forgive,
You see me reaching through an open flame,
I feel alive when im burnt again.
You keep dragging me down, You keep dragging me down,
Im drowning in you,
There’s no hope for me now, There’s no hope for me now,
I should of walked away.
My first mistake was loving you,
My worst mistake was giving you a second chance,
Cause you tore me up and you called it love,
You made a fool out of me,
My last mistake was thinking I won’t make the same
mistake again.
You say your sorry but you don’t cry,
There you call with your head held high.
My first mistake was loving you,
My worst mistake was giving you a second chance,
Cause you tore me up and you called it love,
You made a fool out of me,
My first mistake was loving you,
My worst mistake was giving you a second chance,
Cause you tore me up and you called it love,
You made a fool out of me,
My last mistake was thinking I won’t make the same
mistake again.
[Leem]
I'm sick of bein nobody so I pull a jack move in a hurry
Got my name on the board, now these niggaz know me
as the one who can get the job done
Anyone that'll step will regret that's a bet I'm a threat
to little wannageez and they families
Liftin weight with them cooked up 'caine keys
I see my niggaz on the streets runnin backwards
Tryin to get what we cain't, cause we captured
Late night deals goin down, watch it pop
I couldn't see myself gettin dropped for a rock
So I'm forced to choose another hobby
I keep on searchin for employment, cause slangin ain't for everybody
I got dogs that can make thangs happen
We roll slow, lookin for niggaz who nappin
I'm strapped and we cappin and ready to blast
on the first slippin nigga cause I'm sick of bein last
[Chorus: x2]
It ain't no room for mistakes in the streets, watch yo' back
[Mad Doc]
The good old days, vanished right before my eyes, check my new disguise
in a WORLD of psychopaths and compromise
Learned to shut my fuckin mouth while I'm watchin scenes
and let that fool weigh himself on them triple beams
That blind rage got my back fade
But maybe this whole new world of jackin, will introduce a grave
I don't know but all I see is struggle
Every road that a nigga crossin, seems he's causin trouble
I keep a hard frame, but never losin my game
in these streets, a nigga broke with a cracked frame
For my brothers sellin them sacks, keep sellin on
Cause I know, all you want is livin better homes
[Leem]
It ain't no room for mistakes in the streets, watch yo' back
Cause niggaz are gettin served with the backstreet gat
It's a fact that I lack qualities of your insecurities
Niggaz how you figure you could fuck wit deez?
It's the G's that I stack that I wish that I could
It's why I keep strivin and strayin from the good
So should, you have, to hustle for your shit
Remember there's another nigga strugglin to get
higher than you, he's flyer than you, he's tryin your crew
So whatcha gonna do? Thangs done caught up witchu
Now you're faced with a cocked back twenty-two
Can't escape, so the slug penetrates you
Slowly fell into the devil all you hear is screams
Niggaz dyin for they backstreet fuckin dreams
[Chorus]
[Mad Doc]
They got me stressin, got my lungs filled full of smoke
Smoke sailin through my body like a sailboat
Captain of the ship so let it float
And on the backstreets a nine is what we tote
Like monkey in the middle got me squiggin on them weak vibes
And time, keeps on tickin in my head, bout to pop my mind
Gotta get with slower jobs cause we lower class
Still they broke nast' fearsome niggaz, fuck they ass
Fool move on, just float on, just move on slow
We buildin with the fuckin GODS, I thought they knowed
Hate to break the black thing while I'm slangin 'caine
So I remain cold in my mind and watch my aim
Fiends gettin blowed out they frame, slain
And watchin em fall like a tragedy, it's sad
But I can't stop the fuckin mad in me, it's bad
I'm raisin gotta have my money flowin like a river
So if you a victim better float like a bobbin nigga
It's ninety-fo', hope you struts from them green tips
And I done blasted on a nigga, let the blood drip
Trapped in this fuckin game amazin puzzles
I got a ten and a NIM with a fuckin muzzle
My mind's flickin to the silent rage
of the backstreets I pray for the grave
