You'd think I would've learned
The second time around
Even though I tried,
I couldn't make a sound
In a moment of quick decisions
The flame needed its own fuel
And now I am left wondering
Which of us was crowned the fool?
An emptiness took over me
So I caved into his spell
And now I am left suffering
In my mind's own form of hell
My father always told me
That I'd learn from my mistakes
But now I am uncertain
That I have all that it takes
I am alone with my thoughts
Again as I always will be
As I am locked in my mind's cell -
It was you who had the only key
This chapter in my life
Is a repetitious affair
And I hope to god that someday
I will be freed of the despair
Even though I failed this time:
The second time around
I believe that I'm now capable
Of standing my own ground.
— Never again.
