Past Mistakes
(Verse)
Hey I see you
Waiting there
By your expression
You want an answer
But the one I’ll give you
Is not the one you want to hear
But would a “yes” be better
If it was insincere?
It’s not that I don’t want this
You know I do
It’s that I know it won’t work
Between me and you
(Chorus)
Maybe we could fall in love
But we’ll probably just fall apart
Why does this have to be so hard?
Maybe we could change our ways
Try not to repeat old mistakes
But I can’t wait
You’ll never change
(Verse)
Your pleading eyes
are hard to avoid
Don’t you realize
What we had was destroyed
You see I’m not the one
you truly want
It’s what we had
It’s what we lost
(Chorus)
Maybe we could fall in love
But we’ll probably just fall apart
Why does this have to be so hard?
Maybe we could change our ways
Try not to repeat past mistakes
But I can’t wait
You’ll never change
(Bridge)
I waited for something
You did the same
We both wanted the other
To change
(*)
Maybe we could fall in love
But we’ll probably just fall apart
We wouldn’t make it work
It’s not who we are
I can’t be your safety net
It’s something you’ll live to regret
It’s why
We’ll fail if we try
Cause anything not based in truth
Will never stand the test of time
And I
Can’t live a lie
If we fell in love again
It would only lead us to the end
We can’t escape
Our past mistakes
We could try to fall in love
But we know we’d only fall apart
It’s why it has to be so hard
Even if we changed our ways
We’d only create new mistakes
We’re not the same
Too much has changed
You and I will never work
When will we ever learn?
We’re not who we once were
it’s over
(**)
Part of one
Both of us
You and me
Weren’t meant to be
(**)
Both of us
Part of one
You and I
We’re done
