Once Burned

So few and far between

Here's a mood I've never seen you in

I should have known not to ask you why

And set myself up for one big, long cry

Once burned and twice removed

Thought I made it now but nothing's proved

Set in my mind not to push too hard

And now I wind up back in your backyard

No one cares about the loser, no one gets a second chance

Even you, even me, if it's through

Don't you see that it's one thing if I should lose again

But to walk away twice is a crying shame

Once burned and twice removed

Thought I made it now but
