Lyrics
Can someone please help me I have messed up

I might as well be locked up

Oh it looks like I have picked my own poison

Can someone please fill my cup

They say

If you don’t learn from your mistakes

You’re going to repeat them

Guess I haven’t learned yet

My history repeats itself

And I still can’t deal with it

I push people away from me

Instead of letting them visit

It’s happened before, and will happen again

The only question is when

It’s like nothing that I can do will change it

My fate is written in pen

They say

If you don’t learn from your mistakes

You’re going to repeat them

Guess I haven’t learned yet

My history repeats itself

And I still can’t deal with it

I push people away from me

Instead of letting them visit

Why do I keep on doing this to myself (x12)

When will I learn
