lyrics

MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE

capo III
verse: F C Dm F
chorus: Bb Dm C C

broken by her hand, cradled in your arms
sirens in your head – all five alarms
& the city is the perfect confidante
it gives you what you need, never what you want

[ch]
& the lie you're sold is the same as every one you told
& whatever it takes you need another break
or a chance to make the same mistake

your broken baggage now heavy in your chest
the feeling that you lost all you possessed
all of your demands made without a voice
the fire in your head never had a choice
& artificial sympathies
dividing all your friends & enemies

[ch]
& all you've been is a ghost in someone else's dream
& now that they're awak you only know the ache
& the need to make the same mistake

forgetting what you save, all your common grounds
a king is what you kept, wearing other crowns

[1st ch]
[2nd ch]
