This time it isn't the same,
This time I know the game,
This time I know how it works,
This time I remember how much it hurts.
A new begining
Is the end at the same time,
Because I know I won't be winning,
So I won't be wasting my time.
This time I cried a lot,
Because I knew I couldn't give it a shot.
What's the purpose anyway,
I even joke "He might even be gay".
Pools of tears for past lovers,
But they weren't him, they were just others,
I didn't care for them as much,
Out of them I just made a fuss.
People say to never stop trying,
But is it worth all the crying?
Sometimes you show more courage stopping,
Sometimes it takes pride to realise you'd be flopping.
And I won't try for you, my dear,
Even how much I adore you, it's still you who I fear,
I've tried what I have and I won't do more,
If you have no interest, then at least my heart won't be as sore
As it would be if I wouldn't stop,
Because this time my plans won't rot
Like beautiful fruits, delicious and pure,
But only imagined, because rotting they would endure.
This time I'll try not to love you,
This time I won't dream of you,
This time I will have the courage to stop,
Because it takes a strong person to put the dot.
This time it isn't the same,
This time I know the game,
This time I know how it works,
This time I remember how much it hurts.
