once burned

so few and far between

here's a mood i've never seen you in. i should have known not to ask you why

and set myself up for one big

long cry. once burned and twice removed

thought i made it now but nothing's proved. set in my mind not to push too hard

and now i wind up back in your backyard. no one cares about the loser

no one gets a second chance

even you

even me

if it's through. don't you see that it's one thing if i should lose again

but to walk away twice is a crying shame.
