"Maybe this time he won't stab me in the back"
I say, as I turn my back to my betrayer
And he reaches for his knife.
"Maybe this time he won't disappoint me"
I say, as I see that my friend
Forgot that today was my birthday.
"Maybe this time my heart won't break"
I say, as I once again fall in love with
Someone whose heart belongs to someone else.
"Maybe this time, things will be different"
I say, as I connect with my ex lover
Who was, and still is, toxic towards me.
"Maybe this time... Just maybe, things will be right."
As I hope, I pray, that somehow things
Will get better when life throws you
Another wake, another somber tune.
