Lyrics
I made a mistake I keep wanting to make,
I've repeatedly made a mistake that I am inclined to repeat.

In my thoughts, I convinced myself that this mistake would be the last time.

Despite being on the wrong path, I keep returning to you, acknowledging a self-destructive behavior.
Like I am

Deep in my heart, I need a fresh start, I just won't say that it's true

I've been round the block, a time and a half,
Having experienced various challenges and difficulties.
But it doesn't replace that
