Same Mistake
James Blunt · P.S. I Love You (Music From The Motion Picture) [2007]
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again, I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street;
Look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello.
There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy, does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy.
Said "he looked, just like me",
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice!
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
And maybe someday we will meet,
And maybe talk, and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me- so here I go.
Ah oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
Ah oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
Ah oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
(Saw the world turning in my sheets)
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
(and once again I cannot sleep.)
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
(Walk out the door and up the street,)
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
(Look at the stars.)
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo ooooo
(Look at the stars, fall down)
0h oooh ooh ooh ooo oo
(And I wonder where,)
oo oooooo
(did I go wrong?)

Same Mistake
James Blunt's 'Same Mistake' serves as a poignant centerpiece on the soundtrack to the 2007 film *P.S. I Love You*. Released alongside his debut album, the track exemplifies the British singer-songwriter's signature blend of acoustic guitar and emotive vocals. The recording captures the raw vulnerability characteristic of his early career, addressing themes of regret and the inevitability of repeating past errors in relationships. As a key component of the movie's musical score, the song resonated deeply with audiences, contributing to the film's emotional narrative and solidifying Blunt's status as a prominent figure in contemporary pop music during the late 2000s.
