I keep making wrong decisions,
I'm still making these mistakes.
There's no point in lying,
I've done all this before.

My heart's not still aching,
but I'm still not entirely ready.
And I'm afraid of repeating history.
(Wow, you really screwed me up.)

Don't even try to help me,
you won't get very far.
I need to do this on my own.
I need to use my words.
