Same Mistake
Lyrics:
[English]
Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go
Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show?
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises, 'cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake
I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
Saw the world turning in my sheets
...
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars
Look at the stars fall down
And I wonder where
Did I go wrong
...
