How Many Times

Some love only goes so far
It won't go all the way
Every time we cross the line
Our feelings betrayed
But you just can't ignore it
When the news is bad
You wake one day to find you wasted
Everything you had
Don't ask me if it's tired
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we tried
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's fine
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
For some a love is well defined
Like the way they breathe and eat
It comes to them so easily
They do it in their sleep
But we grew up the hard way
Only searched for lust
I don't think that either of us
Ever learned to trust
Don't ask me if it's tired
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we lied
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's right
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
It isn't right
It isn't fair
Love takes you every place
But we're still standing here
Don't ask me if it's tired
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if we cried
Ask me how many times
Don't ask me if it's right
Or if we put out the light
Just when it started to shine
Ask me how many times
Don't ask if we passed the warning signs
Ask me how many times
