A Lesson In Chances Learned
I am getting really drained
From all this heartache and pain
That is always in my view
Every time I look at you
We were lovers for a while
But all these big lies you pile
On me without even blinking
Has made me snap now I'm thinking
How many good years I've wasted
The thousands of tears I've tasted
Trying to keep us alive
Hoping this romance would thrive
But each chance that you were given
Took a little piece of living
Out of my life more and more
What were all those chances for
You just played me like a fiddle
My heart stuck right in the middle
Trying to figure if
I should give another gift
And give this just one more try
Or just stop and realize
There is nothing here worth saving
My mind and hearts really craving
For an answer to this question
Maybe I'll be taught a lesson
Not to waste my life again
So I'm happy in the end
