Echo

by James Babbs

I keep repeating myself and
I keep using the same words
over and over again
but every time I say them
I try to say them
in a different way and
I keep repeating myself
I keep wondering why
I never learn from my mistakes and
I keep repeating myself
I keep repeating myself and
night after night
I have the same dreams
I keep doing the same things
over and over again
I keep repeating myself
I keep repeating myself and
every time I touch her
she feels like somebody else and
I keep repeating myself
I keep repeating myself and
every time she looks at me
she wants to know my name
