(Don't Make) The Same Mistake
© Rob Russell Davies 2007

And suddenly you stumbled out of history
I turned around and there you were
We had a drink and caught up on a memory
And I told you something that I'd heard...

I heard you had married your little home-breaker
And things were set up sweet and nice
Well if you can spare me a minute of your time
I'd love to give you some advice
So listen, listen...

CHORUS:
Don't make the same mistake that you made with me
Don't let it go so wrong
Remember how it felt when I went away
So don't make the same mistake, once again

I see my words are cuttin' just a little raw
And maybe I am being mean
But I look back at all the things you did before
And even now what do I see...

I see your cheatin' eyes so easy to manipulate
And I know exactly what you'd like
But at the risk of losing a chance to pay her back
I'll leave with only this advice
So listen, listen...

CHORUS 2: (Same as Chorus 1)

LAST CHORUS
Don't make the same mistake that you made with me
Don't let it go so wrong
Remember how it felt when I went away
So don't make the same mistake...
You won't make the same mistake
Well... not today.
