The same mistake

It's been so many years

since I saw you the last time

but you've been in my mind

the thought is so clear

but I won't lie now

most of the time I got by

It's been so many years

now I don't want time

dissolving all the moments

from this memory

or settle down on me

pulling me back to reality

I did it again

the same mistake

It's been so many years

that it feels like a lifetime

I close my eyes so I can see

now I can't really tell

when was the last time

I looked into your eyes

to see the sparkling kindness

I only find in memories of you

I don't want time to fly by

and take away the memories

of the time when we were as close as can be

I did it again

the same mistake

I'm doing it again

the same mistake

It's been so many years

it starts to feel like a dream now

the distance stretches as we speak

you're far away from here

but I promise I'll walk the miles

I just hope you're still waiting for me

I did it again

the same mistake

I let myself

be fooled again

and see displayed

what I don't have

but would die to have

and I would live again

to make the same mistake
