Shame on you if you fool me once.
Shame on me if you fool me twice.
You hurt me with so many broken promises
That even your apologies won't suffice.
"Just one more chance" given
Time and time again.
I've done it too many times to remember,
I can't recall when it began.
Sitting here, lost in regret,
Swimming in my own sorrow
Hoping and praying that maybe
It'll be different tomorrow.
But to try and try again,
Without a change in step,
Is not for the mentally stable,
Insanity is the concept.
I want to give up easily.
Wipe my slate clean.
But it wouldn't make a difference
Life without you isn't that serene.
"Go out and find someone else.
There are other fish in the sea."
I know, but what if I've already found
The one, with who I'm meant to be?
Yes, it is a challenge.
Faith handed me another test.
I'm willing to stick it out and fight.
I'm not giving up this quest.
I know just what you want.
I'm willing to stick it out
I'm gonna break a promise,
For this I have no doubt.
If August comes,
And you choose her,
I know exactly
What will occur.
I won't be able to give you up
Like I said I would.
I can't just wipe you out of my life
Like I know I should.
How could I give up my best friend,
Just because feelings got in the way?
To let you go, I know I would
Regret it everyday.
Maybe just some space between us
Would do our relationship some good.
But who knows how long it will last
Before we give in to the thing we've withstood.
Yes I promised myself I wouldn't.
But you're irresistible.
And I know the thoughts going through my head
Are very questionable.
But I'm not giving up on love.
So love, don't give up on me.
Give me your trust, and I shall show
Just how much you should believe.
It'll be just another broken promise.
I've heard that talk is cheap.
Another broken promise,
That I just couldn't keep.
