A Dozen Times

Have I always been so cynical?

I destroy everything I touch

Like a child who has everything

Everything is not enough

Looking back now I can recall

There was always something better

Mistakes all seemed right at the time

But time has changed my mind

Heart gets what it wants

Passion starts to fade

And the pen runs dry

Before you fill the page

I called you out

You've got your own truth

You don't love me

It's nothing less

What I deserve

Turned my back on love

I repeat the grand charade

Day after loving day

It's just the price I pay

For chasing paradise

Heart gets what it wants

Passion starts to fade

And the pen runs dry

Before you fill the page

I called you out

You've got your own truth

You don't love me

It's nothing less

What I deserve

Turned my back on love

A dozen times

Heart gets what it wants

Passion starts to fade

And the pen runs

I called you out

You've got your own truth

You don't love me

I called you out

You've got your own truth

I called you out

You've got your own truth
