about

This song comes from the heart. We've been playing it since June 2015, and it's really cool to finally release it. Enjoy!

lyrics

First one to listen, first one to care
First one to disregard the feelings that I shared
I gave you all my certain love, I dropped my life, put you above
The thought of life without your smile is not a life that's worth my while

But you don't see the things that I see clearly when I look into your eyes
You're out, you're having fun while I stay home and cry

How many times must I say that I love you
How many times must I cry myself to sleep
Knowing that you've never even loved me
Maybe I can close my eyes tonight

So many months, I've spent them all on my own
Hours waiting for a call, I guess I should have known
All the time I ever wondered how I'd ever win your heart
I know you only liked the attention, I was blind right from the start

But you don't see the things that I see clearly when I look into your eyes
I'm getting over you without you by my side

How many times must I say that I love you?
How many times must I cry myself to sleep?
Knowing that you've never even loved me
Maybe I can close my eyes tonight

How many times will my mind fill with panic?
How much longer will you lead me on?
I hope you pay for the minutes on my cell phone
I'll write another hundred songs

I will sit alone in the dark waiting for a call
2 AM, I'll go to bed, did you even care at all?
Mornings hit me even worse waking up without you there
Through the months I've trained myself not to even care

How many times must I say that I love you?
How many times must I cry myself to sleep?
Knowing that you've never even loved me
Maybe I can close my eyes tonight

How many times will my mind fill with panic?
How much longer will you lead me on?
I hope you pay for the minutes on my cell phone
I'll write another hundred songs
