I lie awake and wonder why

I let a good thing pass me by

I can't believe i played around

and ended up alone and down

It's easy to make excuses

easy to play the game (and)

even if you think you can fake it

It's harder to fool your heart to know you're not to blame

You mess around you sacrifice

the trust you need for love to survive

I leave a trail of self disdain

but to learn to never lose love again

I made mistakes, I paid the price

i got what i deserved I got no place to hide

nothing's gonna get you back, i get that

I got burned, i won't get burned again
