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
