How Many Times Must You Hurt Me?

by Erica Hughes - Libra

How many times must you hurt me?
Til' you leave me cold and dead?
How many times must you hurt me,
as I lay in our empty bed?
How many tears must I shed,
before I drown in misery?
why can't we be happy?
Why do you do these things to me?
How many times will you hurt me,
til' you leave me, or I run away?
Why do I stay?
When you don't love me anyway?

1 times is
2 many, and 
3 times and then I'm gone, it's sad
4 me to be alone, when 
5 nights a week you're not at home?

How many times must you hurt me,
til' I wither like a flower,
waiting hour after hour. . .
Why can't you see,
that you are really hurting me?
with all the games that you play,
what else is there to say?
when I don't know why I stay,
When you don't love me anyway.
