Time after time you said you'd be there for me
But over and over your words ring of insincerity


[Bridge:]
These words that pass your lips
Often spoken but never meant

You hurt the ones you love
Am I the one that you love to hate
Say what you mean

And mean what you say

[Chorus:]

Why must I live in fear
Why must I hurt this way
Contemplating my every move

Insecure 'til your dying day
You inflict the pain
'Cause I'm the one that you call friend

Had enough of your foolish games
Just go Just go away


I would walk a thousand miles if you asked me to
But why must I spend my whole life proving these things to you


[Bridge / Chorus]

How many times must I stand broken hearted

When will I ever learn
How many times must I fall to pieces
Everybody gets a turn


Time and time again
You're like an old black and white movie

It's all been done before
You're the same old song and dance
You're a tired old cliche

You know the end before it comes

Why must I live in fear

Why must I hurt this way
Contemplating my every move
Insecure 'til your dying day

You inflict the pain
'Cause I'm the one that you call friend
Had enough of your foolish games

This will end This must end

If I had a dime for every time you said you loved me

I'd be a millionaire
But if I had a million for every time that you meant it
I'd be poor as hell


Never will I ever
Walk this road again

For as long as I live the love that I give
Won't be given up in vain


[Chorus]

Time after time you said you'd be there for me

How many times must I fall to pieces
Everybody gets a turn


Never will I ever walk this road again
But for as long as I live the love that I give
Won't be given up in vain


[Chorus]
