Same OI' Mistakes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can just hear them now

How could you let us down?

But they don't know what I've found

Or see it from this way 'round

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

One by one, every trait

I tried but it's way too late

All the signs, I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

When I breathe in too deep

Goin' with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you'll make the same ol’ mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late, I know)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you'll make the same ol’ mistakes)

I finally know what it's like

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)

(I know there's too much at stake)

(Making the same mistakes)

And I still don't know why it's happening

(Stop while it's not too late)

And I still don't know

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

The point is I have the right

I’m thinking in black and white

Thinking it's worth the fight

Soon I'll be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Goin' with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you'll make the same ol’ mistakes)

Well, I don't care, I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late, I know)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you'll make the same ol’ mistakes)

So how do I know that it's right?

(You don’t have what it takes)

(Stop before it’s too late)

And I know that it's hard to digest

But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

And I know that it's hard to digest

A realization is as good as a guess

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person

So how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking you're the only option

Feel like a brand new person

(But you’ll make the same ol’ mistakes)

I finally know what it's like

(Stop before it's too late)

Stop thinking you're the only option

In a new direction

(But you’ll make the same ol’ mistakes)

So how will I know I've gone too far?

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's too late)

Stop thinking you're the only option

Feel like a brand new person

(But you’ll make the same ol’ mistakes)

And I don't know how to describe

(Stop before it's too late)

Stop thinking you're the only option

But you’ll make the same ol’ mistakes

You don't have what it takes

Stop before it's too late

Stop thinking you're the only option

(But you’ll make the same ol’ mistakes)

I finally know what it's like

(Stop before it's too late)

Stop thinking you're the only option

Stop thinking you're the only option
