History repeats what we don't learn

It's a plan that continues to crash and burn

We can't stop it, maybe prevent it some way

But pain is a tax we've come to pay

Be it wrong, be it unwise

To continue to suffer in my actions I despise

I have not learned to stop chasing shadows and tomorrows

But maybe just this once my own advice I'll borrow

Just once I wish I'd listen and stop

Before to my knees I drop

In agony once again in hurt and in sadness

Trying to cure a maniac madness

I only hope what tomorrow may bring

A tune to which the hopeful sing

I can learn from my lessons, learn from my pain

Because now I have more to lose than to gain

I no longer have a choice be it stubborn or brave

That now I'm the only one my heart can save
