These Habits
Oliver Koletzki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Between pleasure and pain exists a fluid line
I've let it happen again
To fall in love
If you break someones heart they say that you are unkind
I've let it happen again
To break my heart

And even though I could lose my heart
To someone wrong
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again

I guess you already know that old habits die hard
But I keep telling you though
That I'm still that way
It takes me so long to learn from mistakes
I should have known better
Before

And even though I could lose my heart
To someone wrong
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again

What I tell you now is my secret secret
So don't tell anyone
That I am hurt
It takes me so long to learn from mistakes
I should have known better
Before

And even though I could lose my heart
To someone wrong
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again
I know that I'd do it, I know that I would do it again

Can't you learn from mistakes
Enough is enough
And after a time soft hands are getting rough
Can't you learn from mistakes




Enough is enough
And after a time soft hands are getting rough
