Rushing, way too fast
Why do I always do it?
Thinking this might last
How could I be so stupid?
But this time
I'm not okay, no
I need to breathe again
'Cause I don't want to

I don't want to make
Another mistake like you
And I don't want to hate
But love doesn't get me through
'Cause I can't be alone again
No I don't want to make
Another mistake like you

Stone cold and hurt inside
Not what I wanted to be
I don't sleep
It's kind Of hard when you cry
Yeah that's where you left me
But this time
It's not alright, no
I need to find someone
Cause I don't want to

I don't want to make
Another mistake like you
And I don't want to hate
But love doesn't get me through
'Cause I can't be alone again
No I don't want to make
Another mistake like you

Don't want to be caught in the moment
That never comes
Is it too much to ask
That real love will find me
I won't get stung, I'll find the one but

I don't want to make
Another mistake like you
And I don't want to hate
But love doesn't get me through
'Cause I can't be alone again
No I don't want to make
Another mistake like you

I don't want to make
Another mistake like you
And I don't want to hate
But love doesn't get me through
'Cause I can't be alone again
No I don't want to make
Another mistake like you
