SAME MISTAKES // KEVIN SHORTFUSE

I could swear that it’s the last time
But you’re tired of hearing that line
Have I really given you
The best of me?

Everything keeps changing
And I can’t find the breadcrumbs
Leading home again
Nothing’s ever simple
Why can’t I solve this riddle
Imprisoned in my head

I made the same mistakes again
Now I’m left here wondering
Can I make the change I want to see
It seems I never learn the lesson
The mistakes have always crept in
After all this time I see
The same mistakes they make up me

This scenery’s familiar
Like looking in a mirror
To witness atrophy
I find it so peculiar
This old and worn exterior
Can’t possibly be me

I made the same mistakes again
Now I’m left here wondering
Can I make the change I want to see
It seems I never learn the lesson
The mistakes have always crept in
After all this time I see
The same mistakes they make up me

This familiar scene
Is bursting at the seams
With stitched up hopes and worn out dreams
And everything between

I made the same mistakes again
Now I’m left here wondering
Can I make the change I want to see
It seems I never learn the lesson
The mistakes have always crept in
After all this time I see
The same mistakes they make up me
