I thought this time, was the right time
Was the last time round for me
That you were the one I’d waited for
So different from any of the others before
Never guessing that something between us was not right
You sure hid that one from me every night
What did I fail to see in front of me
Was it always there, always in plain sight
And when you told me it was all over
Time for the two of us to each move on
You broke my heart in two
When you walk out that door
Because this time, I so believed in you
From you, I believed every word was true
But this time, like the last time
And all those other times before
I’ll paint on my best smile
Put on my bravest of faces
Tell all my friends if they ask me
That it’s over, we’ve decided to call it a day
I’m fine with that, I’ll say, come what may
Time for this girl to get back out and play
I won’t let them see me cry
I’ve got far more pride in myself than that
I won’t give you the satisfaction
Of letting anyone see, how much you hurt me
I’m good at brave faces, I’ve had to be
I’ve worn so many over all of the years
I’ve had to be, they’re the only thing
That covers up all of my tears
