How Many Times? by Eloise Stewart Lyrics

Met you early on; fourteen oh four
Connection between us hard to ignore
Told me certain things you’d never told before
Fell too hard too fast, mind and heart were at war

Ten out of twelve, “We’ll make it” you swear
How could I believe? You don’t act like you care
On the day you flew away from our love affair
Cried so hard for I knew our ending was there

How many times did we break?
On again and off again, tired eyes and hands that shake
How many times did we try?
Love me do’s and love me don’ts, never enough for you to say goodbye

Ultimatums, we said “The last chance at greatness”
Naive looking back I was willing to fake this
Your friends fell apart; thought our story’d be like theirs
Said timing was to blame, no it’s your ego that is…

How many times did we break?
On again and off again, tired eyes and hands that shake
How many times did we try?
Love me do’s and love me don’ts, never enough for you to say goodbye
I let you go, now the cycle truly ends
It’s not dramatic to say that we can’t be friends
Tell me we’ll miss each other, I guess that depends;
Do you still have a fetish for false pretence?

How many times did we break?
On again and off again, tired eyes and hands that shake
How many times did we try?
Love me do’s and love me don’ts, never enough for you to say goodbye
How many times did it take?
Hell I won’t count them up, not in the mood to feel my heart ache
How many times did you lie
To my face and tell me that you were the good guy?
