Same Ol’ Mistakes Songtext
von Laura Mvula

I can just hear them now
"How could you let us down?"
They don′t know what I found
See it from this way around
Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate
One by one, every trait
I tried, but it's way too late
All the signs I don′t read
Sides of me can't agree
Will I be in too deep
Going with what I always longed for?


Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
But I don't care, I′m in love
(Stop before it′s too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what is love (you don't have what it takes)
(Stop before it′s too late)
(I know there's too much at stake)
And I still don′t know why it's happening (making the same mistakes)
And I still don′t know (stop while it's not too late)

And I know that it's hard to digest
Maybe your story ain′t so different from the rest
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you′ve got your demons, and she's got her regrets
And I know that it′s hard to digest (and I know it's so hard to digest)
A realization is as good as it gets (it′s a realization, as good as it gets)
And I know it seems wrong to accept (and I know it seems wrong, yeah)
But you got your demons (but you got your demons)
And she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
How will I know if it′s right?
(Stop before it's too late)
In a new direction
(But you make the same old mistakes)
How will I know I've gone too far? (you don′t have what it takes)
(Stop before it′s too late)
(I know there's too much at stake)


Feel like a brand new person
(Making the same mistakes)
Finally know what is love
(Stop while it′s not too late)
In a new direction
(But you make the same old mistakes)
How will I know if it's right?
How will I know? (Stop while it′s not too late)
How will I know if it's right?
