how many times...
have i seen you walk away?
how many times...
have i been left counting the days?
how many times...
will you make my soul break?
how many times...
will it take?
how many times...
will i give you a second chance?
how many times...
will we have a last dance?
how many times...
will i beg and plead?
how many times...
will you make my heart bleed?
how many times...
have you said 'i love you'?
and how many times...
was it really true?

Nice.

Liked your use of repetition. And it's very relatable. :)
