One Too Many Times

One too many times

Have you lied to me

Spouted words

That seemed so

Genuine

 

One too many times

Have you promised me

Broken every time

Disappointment etched

Into my dark brown eyes

 

One too many times

Have you fucked me over

Dissing me for someone better

Like I'm an old rag,

Easy to throw away

 

One too many times

Have you apologized

Malice in your voice

Like it was a chore

To say I'm sorry

 

One too many times

Have I forgiven you

Thinking

Its better to be hurt

Than friendless

 

One too many times

Have you ruined things

Interfered where you didn’t belong

Messed up the only good thing

I had, so I would come crawling back

 

One too many times

Have I been done

Said f**k you

Realized what a b***h you are

And moved on

 

One too many times

Have I given you a second chance

Letting you back in

Knowing this time

If you screwed up

It was over

 

One too many times

Have you talked behind my back

Saying s**t

We both know

Isn’t true

 

One too many times

Have I seen your face

And repressed the urge

To smash it into anything hard

I could find laying around

 

One too many times

Have I cared

About the words you say

And the lies you spread

One too many times

 

But now I'm done

And all that’s left

Are the second chances

I shouldn’t have given

The friendship that never was

 

And one too many times

Ive smiled,

Knowing that you

Are worse off

Without me
