How Many Times?

Chorus:
How many times have you lied babe?
Lonely nights now for me.
How many times have I tried babe
To tell you my heart was for you?

Verse 1:
Now I just roll away my dice
I'll get my kicks tonight
You just won't love me anyway
So I'll go out, go out and play
Roll my dice and my luck may change

Chorus:
How many times have you lied babe?
Lonely nights now for me.
How many times have I tried babe
To tell you my heart was for you?

Verse 2:
Now you just wipe away your tears
You get more kicks from fears
You just won't see me anyway
So I'll go out, go out and play
Wipe your tears now my life has changed

Chorus:
How many times have you lied babe?
Lonely nights now for me.
How many times have I tried babe
To tell you my heart was for you?

Bridge:
Now it's too late
Can't hold me now
My life's better this way
Guess I should have known
Should have known
I'm always better on my own

Chorus:
How many times have you lied?
Lonely nights now for you
How many times have I tried
And now my heart's not for you
How many times have you cried?
Lonely nights now belong to you.
How many times have you cried?
Lonely nights now belong to you.

I was approached a while ago by a band who wanted some lyrics, they sent me a demo with singer doing a crude melody (la la dee doo ect) and this is what I came up with, hope they like it ;-)

Tell Me Now

Tell me now if you are gonna lie, You know I'll see it in your eyes. Tell me now, then you can leave my life, It's you that makes me feel alive.

Now It's Over

It's funny how you never see what someone's like until they're gone, All the time you wasted and realization you were wrong.

In Love With The Idea Of You

You used to look down at me with adoring eyes as I talked to you, a ghostly smile always gracing your lips. You used to laugh at my jokes, your deep laugh had sent shivers down to my toes.

what's best for me?

They just think they know what's best for me. They don't. He thinks he knows me. He doesn't. He thinks he knows what's best for me. He doesn't. Why do they all think that they can control my life?.

The Break

In one single moment your whole life can turn around. He stands there for a minute staring straight at the ground. He slightly raises his head then looks back down.

Broken Promises.

How many times will they go through this. You really are starting to take the piss. Promising always that they will go out for the night, Then you can't be bothered so you have another fight.

This Isn't The End

You. You crossed my mind,. Left me mesmerized. But you. A dirty cheat. Had me hypnotized. I'm not falling. For your games. Another time. I'm not letting. You waste my time. Leaving you behind.
