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
