Wish I could live my life on my own
Wish I could stop being so dumb
Wish I could fall right into your arms
But I won't make that mistake again…

Wish I could hide that scar on my skin
A reminder of that shameful sin
That made my life as sad as it seems
But I won't make that mistake again…
I won't make that mistake again…

Sometimes it seems that the world is falling down
In my back and I can't stop it now
What have I done to have this kind of life?
I won't make that mistake again…

Wish I could write happier songs
And make my life as happy as one
But I don't have that luck, just like some
I won't make that mistake again…

Wish I could live without loving someone
Because the pain is just awful
Wish I could be more hopeful
But I won't make that mistake again…
I won't make that mistake again…

Sometimes it seems that the world is falling down
In my back and I can't stop it now
What have I done to have this kind of life?
I won't make that mistake again…

I won't make that mistake again…
