TOO MANY TIMES

Too many faces…

My heart has raced for.

Too many times…

I have crawled from their door.

I’ve been too easy…

When I should have laid low.

When will I learn…

To keep my emotions in tow?

Too many kisses…

Have broken my will.

Too many times…

I thought it was real.

It was too easy…

When none of us cared.

Tables are turned

And now we’re making it scared.

Can’t you see...

That I’m a desperate guy?

I’ve learned how to kneel

And I have learned how to cry.

I gave them a line

To lay by their side.

Winning their touch

Was the reason I lied.

Too many dances…

To remember the steps.

Too many chances…

For a fool to expect.

I’ve been too thoughtless

When I should have been there.

When will I love

And hold my friendships with care? 

Too many mimes…

Pretending I’m the one.

Too many crimes

For lending and giving none.
