New Person, Same Old Mistakes

I can just hear them now

"How could you let us down?"

But they don't know what I found

Or see it from this way 'round

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

Two 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'll make the same old mistakes

(I don't care, I'm in love)

Stop before it's too late

(I know, feel like a brand new person)

But you'll make the same old mistakes

(I finally know what it's like)

You don't have what it takes

Stop before it's too late

(I know) There's too much at stake

Making the same mistakes

(And I still don't know why it's happening)

Stop while it's not too late

(And I still don't know)

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

The point is, I have the right

Not thinking in black and white

I'm thinking it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Going with what I always longed for

(Feel like a brand new person)

But you'll make the same old mistakes

(I don't care, I'm in love)

Stop before it's too late

(I know, feel like a brand new person)

But you'll make the same old mistakes

(I finally know what it's like)

You don't have what it takes

Stop before it's too late

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

But 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

A realization is as good as a guess

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person

So, how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So, how will I know I've gone too far?

(Stop thinking that the only option)

Feel like a brand new person

I finally know what it's like

(Stop thinking that the only option)

So how will I know I've gone too far?

(Stop thinking that the only option)

And I know it's hard to describe

(Stop thinking that the only option)

So how will I know that it's right?
