To Make That Same Mistake Again
A Dance with Regret: Reba McEntire's Poignant Reflection on Love
Lyrics
Of all the broken hearts I've had
Reflecting on previous heartbreak experiences
This one hurts the worst
Expressing the intensity of the current heartbreak
His love flowed like a river
Describing the former lover's abundant and flowing love
Now I'm dying of thirst
Feeling emotionally deprived and yearning for love
If loving him too much is why
Suggesting that excessive love may have led to the breakup
I lost him in the end
Acknowledging the loss of the relationship
Then I hope I can live long enough
Expressing a willingness to experience the pain of love again
To make that same mistake again
Expressing a desire to repeat the mistake of loving intensely
Well they say that love can be so strong that it's the choking kind
Highlighting the overwhelming and suffocating nature of strong love
I never thought I'd see the day when love would be a crime
Expressing surprise at the idea of love becoming a wrongdoing
Mistakes can cost a lot and it
Emphasizing the high cost of mistakes in relationships
Sometimes we lose to win
Recognizing that sometimes losing is necessary for personal growth
Oh I hope I can live long enough
Reiterating the desire to repeat the mistake of intense love
To make that same mistake again
Expressing hope for a chance to make the same mistake again
Oh I may go crazy missing him
Admitting the potential for emotional turmoil in missing the ex-lover
Knowing that it's my fault
Taking responsibility for the consequences of the failed relationship
But how could I have loved him less
Questioning the possibility of loving the ex-lover any less
Oh I tremble at the thought
Expressing anxiety at the idea of loving intensely again
And it's amazing how I'm holding on
Highlighting resilience despite emotional struggles
With the shape I'm in
Acknowledging the difficult emotional state but holding on
Oh I hope that I can live long enough
Expressing the desire for a long life to repeat the mistake of intense love
To make that same mistake again
Reaffirming the hope to make the same mistake of loving deeply
