Time And Time Again
Papa Roach · Lovehatetragedy
It doesnÂ’t matter if I am your best friend
I donÂ’t think so
YouÂ’re not that smart
Over and over it breaks my heart
The cycle continues
Time for your crime
The pain comes back in an ugly design
Her make up smears
Tears that she cries
Over and over and every night
Emotional swords slash my soul
And now the pain
It takes control
I think about you
I think about me
I think about the way that it used to be
I need a bottle
I need some pills
I need a friend
And I need some thrills
A shoulder to cry on
A friend to depend on
When life gets rough
Time and Time again
You'll think about yourself
Before you think about me (x2)
ItÂ’s like a fight every single day
ItÂ’s always easy when you have it your way
Deep in my heart,
The depths of my soul
My selfish ways are out of control
Sorry that it comes down to this
I punch through the wall as I break my fist
Her make up smears
The tears that we cry
Over and over every night
Time and time again
You'll think about yourself
Before you think about me (x2)
YouÂ’re so selfish
YouÂ’re making me want to end this
Relationship
YouÂ’re making me want to end this
Lost time behind
Loving ties unwind
Time and time again
You'll think about yourself
Before you think about me (x2)
Time and time again
(YouÂ’re so selfish)
You'll think about yourself
Before you think about me (x2)
Loving ties unwind
Lost time behind (x2)
