Hi I wrote this love song for you
At least I think it's a love song
How many times did you stay
When you were ready to go
When your heart wanted to
Be free but you kept telling it no
And every time you held on
You regretted it more
Not realizing half of your pain
Came from you neglecting your soul
How many times
How many times
How many women
And how many lies
How many times
Resented your feelings
And swallowed your pride
How many times
You sit in your kitchen
With bottles of wine
I'm sorry you're crying
He probably was lying
How many times
How many times
I've been in your place
Resent on your face
Ain't feeling so great
And then he be tripping
Because dinner was late
And then he be straight
Because dinner was great
Hold wait, still tripping
Because dinner was late
How many times
Stop being modest sometimes
Got to be out of your mind
How many times
Neglected you heart
Didn't follow the signs
Just open your eyes
You've got to be blind
How many times
How many
How many times
How many times
How many times did you stay
When you were ready to go
When your heart wanted to
Be free but you kept telling it no
And every time you held on
You regretted it more
Not realizing that half of your pain
Came from you neglecting your soul
It's best that you accept your lesson and go
But you rather take it steady and slow
You act cool on the surface but all
Of your true feelings get buried below
I hope you understand that the heaviest
Hearts have to carry the most
You said you were done but you said that before
I guess you don't remember of those letters and notes
That you wrote when you were fed up and low
But you're so afraid of being alone you can't get up and go
Look I've been in your place
Resent on your face
Ain't feeling so great
How many times
How many lies
Are you willing to take
I've been in your place
Depressed and sick in the face
Ain't feeling so great
How many times
How many
How many times
How many times
