we won't make the same mistake again

i learned that you could choose why you hurt

or you can let the world hurt you while you do nothing

the moment of that decision will change everything

i realized my heart was a stranger to me

when someone ripped it open

and showed me parts that i've never seen

and the past will pace back and forth

waiting for me to fall asleep

and haunt me in my dreams

take me back to a place we used to be

what if the real victory is knowing that

we will not make the same mistakes again

show them again and again who i am

what if the real victory is knowing that

we won't make the same mistakes again

what if there's no victory at all

i'm caught in the crossfire of my god and my mistakes

is there more to learn if this is all that i can take

clever words are no escape

feelings shouldn't be written in vain

my god. take me back to a place we used to be

what if the real victory is knowing that

we will not make the same mistakes again

show them again and again who i am

what if the real victory is knowing that

we won't make the same mistakes again

what if there's no victory at all

i have no alibi

i live beneath these northern lights

we celebrate on autumn nights

with the cement beneath our feet

brings our advice

take me back to a place we used to be

what if the real victory is knowing that

we will not make the same mistakes again

show them again and again who i am

what if the real victory is knowing that

we won't make the same mistakes again

what if there's no victory at all

and the past will pace back and forth

waiting for me to fall asleep

and haunt me in my dreams
