Be the Same
Redemption's Melody: Gavin Degraw's Journey Through Mistakes and Heartbreaks
Lyrics
I know I made my mistakes
I acknowledge my past mistakes.
But I made up for them, when everybody else pretend
I have made amends while others pretended.
And I know I had enough heartbreaks
I've experienced heartbreaks, but I claim to have changed.
But I promise that I've changed, and I will prove it to you any day
I promise to prove my change to you any day.
And I know that we had our doubts and we thought they were nothing
We had doubts, thinking they were insignificant.
But now that we found out ever since we've been running
We discovered that those doubts mattered as we kept running.
And baby I can't take another hit
I cannot endure more pain.
And if we ain't love then there ain't no loving
If it's not love, there is no genuine affection.
And I though that you would be the one, but I guess another time that I was wrong
I believed you were the one, but I was wrong again.
And baby I gave everything I had
I gave my all to you, baby.
Just to be shot down and need rehab
Despite giving my all, I faced rejection and need rehab.
And I know that we could try to numb the pain
We could attempt to numb the pain.
But you know that it won't ever be the same
But deep down, we know things won't return to how they were.
I can't say how much I'm in your debt
I owe you a debt of gratitude.
But lately I've been feeling sad with you, 'cause I know that you owe that debt too
Lately, I've been feeling sad because you also carry that burden.
And I know that we had our doubts and we thought they were nothing
We had doubts, but now they are proven significant as we kept running.
But now that we found out ever since we've been running
(Repetition of the theme of doubts)
And baby I can't take another hit
I can't endure another emotional blow.
And if we ain't love then there ain't no loving
If there's no love, there is no real affection.
And I though that you would be the one, but I guess another time that I was wrong
I believed you were the one, but I was wrong again.
And baby I gave everything I had
I gave everything, only to face rejection and the need for rehab.
Just to be shot down and need rehab
(Repetition of facing rejection and needing rehab)
And I know that we could try to numb the pain
We could try to numb the pain, but it won't bring back what we had.
But you know that it won't ever be the same
(Reiteration that things won't be the same)
And baby I gave everything I had to you
I gave everything to you, and I'm puzzled why it's ending so soon.
So I don't know why you ending it so soon
(Expressing confusion and sadness over the abrupt ending)
And baby I gave everything I had
I gave my all, only to face rejection and the need for rehab.
Just to be shot down and need rehab
(Repetition of facing rejection and needing rehab)
And I know that we could try to numb the pain
We could try to numb the pain, but it won't bring back what we had.
But you know that it won't ever be the same, yeah
(Final acknowledgment that things won't be the same)
