Same Mistake James Blunt Lyrics Novels & Stories

He never asks me anything. I blew out a frustrating sigh. I lifted my head and drifted my gaze around. Most couples were snogging, dancing, drinking, and laughing. They were enjoying their lives, reminding me of my empty life, mocking me. It hurt. I was the only one with a gloomy face. Even my friend's date was also waiting for her. I would be alone with a glass of drink.

His face was drenched in blood, but his green eyes, against that crimson, burned with terrifying brightness. Then he smiled. A grin spread across his face, exposing teeth soaked in blood. “Zinnia,” James spoke with a hoarse voice, but unmistakably clear, “Do you know what your biggest mistake was?” A barely noticeable tremor ran through Zinnia’s hand on the gun. “You’ve allowed your arrogance to blind you,” James said slowly, “Did you really think I’d come back unprepared, to hand myself over to die?”

Just like my grandparents did, so romantic But we fought the whole time Should have seen the signs, yeah Talking with my mother she said Where'd you find this guy? I said, Some people fall in love With the wrong people sometimes Some mistakes get made That's alright, that's okay You can think that you're in love When you're really just in pain Some mistakes get made That's alright, that's okay In the end, it's better for me That's the moral of the story babe Oh, oh Oh-ooh-oh Woo, oh Oh-ooh-oh

Zane said, sounding calmer than he was. “Okay, okay, I shouldn’t have done it. I get it. Please just let me go,” James wheezed. Zane’s fist connected to the other side of James’ chest, but Ryders grip on his hair made it impossible for James to double over. “That’s nice, that you understand your mistake. But that wasn’t my question. Now tell me why the fuck you are in this mess!” Zane barked at James. James jumped and Zane saw his bottom lip began to tremble.

I sobbed, "let me explain myself." Anger flashed in James's eyes as he joined the conversation, his voice laced with disdain. "Save your explanations," he sneered, his frustration palpable. "We've heard enough." My fears multiplied, the weight of my mistake crushing me. I knew my words might fall on deaf ears, but I had to try. Through choked sobs, I start to spoke before being cut off by James. "Shut up!" James growled, his voice seething with anger. "I don't want to hear another word from you."

The whole sorry mess creaks, groans, then slow-motion collapses into a heap of smashed panels. Chest heaving, I stand, helplessly shaking still-clenched fists. Then as a final afterthought, putting all my force into it, I kick at the wall.... Fuck! The pain that slashes through my foot leaves me gasping. Feeling a fool, I heave a breath, my bruised toes lifted slightly from the ground. Sodding stupid thing to do.... "You're not planning on keeping poultry anytime soon then?" I swivel, fist raised and James steps smartly back, hands upraised. There's a glint in his eyes, but I can't tell if it's anger or amusement.

I asked slowly, "Do you even know what your mistake really was?" His eyes lit with hope, and he nodded frantically. "I do, I do! I never should've lied to you. I never should've been with Iris! I never should've—" "No." I cut him off cold. "Your biggest mistake was wanting everything. "I ran our home. I gave you peace, love, and a family. But you still craved the Pooles' money and connections. You treated me like the safety net holding you up while showing off Iris as your prize.

“Mandy, whatever he’s about to say, just know that I love you. I’ve made mistakes, but I’m not the man he’s trying to make me out to be.” My heart twisted at his words, but before I could respond, James let out a bitter laugh. “Oh, please. Spare her the heartfelt speech, Lucas. It’s not going to change the facts.” “Then just say it!” I snapped, my patience snapping like a brittle twig. “Say whatever it is you came here to say and stop dragging this out.” James’s gaze locked onto mine, and for the first time, his smirk faded. “Fine. You want the truth? Here it is.”

He smiled down at her. "That's pretty basic of a name for someone like you." The words were out of her mouth before she could think them through. "I am sorry. I don't mean that as an insult. Blame the alcohol." She groaned out loud, earning herself a couple of deep chortles. "It's fine. I don't mind any of it." James spoke up while trying to put on a serious look. But he couldn't help the smile which kept crawling on his face. "I really am sorry, James. You don't sound half bad." She tried to save the situation but it was too late.
