**Verse 1**
How many times can one man break and still stand tall?
How many nights can he wait by a phone that never calls?
You look me in the eyes and swear I'm all you need,
Then turn around and plant another wound that starts to bleed.
I wasn't hard to love, I wasn't hard to find,
I was right here giving you my heart, my trust, my time.
While I was building us, you were tearing down the walls,
And somehow I'm the one left catching every fall.
**Chorus**
How many times you gonna betray me and call it a mistake?
How many promises you gonna make just to break?
I'm tired of hearing sorry when sorry never changes you.
I'm tired of being faithful while you're doing what you do.
You keep taking my love like it's something you can spend,
Then come back when you're lonely and expect me to pretend.
The truth cuts deep, but what hurts the most is true—
The person breaking me is the person I love too.
**Verse 2**
I remember all the nights I defended your name,
When everybody saw the fire and I took all the blame.
They told me what was happening, I swore they were wrong,
Now I'm looking in the mirror wondering how I held on.
You got comfortable knowing I'd stay no matter what,
Knowing I'd forgive every time you opened up another cut.
You stopped treating my heart like something worth keeping safe,
And started treating loyalty like something to replace.
**Pre-Chorus**
And the crazy thing is I would've given you the world,
But you kept gambling everything for temporary thrills.
**Chorus**
How many times you gonna betray me and call it a mistake?
How many promises you gonna make just to break?
I'm tired of hearing sorry when sorry never changes you.
I'm tired of being faithful while you're doing what you do.
You keep taking my love like it's something you can spend,
Then come back when you're lonely and expect me to pretend.
The truth cuts deep, but what hurts the most is true—
The person breaking me is the person I love too.
**Bridge**
What was I supposed to do? Love you harder? Love you more?
I was already giving everything I had and then some more.
You had my trust, my heart, my loyalty, my soul,
And somehow that still wasn't enough to make you stay home.
Every lie feels heavier than the one before,
Every chance I gave just left me hurting more.
And I'm frustrated 'cause I know what we could've been,
But you keep choosing everything except us in the end.
**Final Chorus**
How many times you gonna watch me fall apart?
How many times you gonna leave your fingerprints on my scars?
I loved you with a strength I didn't know I had,
And now all that's left is the best thing you ever had.
Maybe one day you'll understand what you put me through,
The sleepless nights, the doubt, the shattered truth.
But by then I'll be gone, and you'll finally see
You didn't lose a game—you lost me.
**Outro**
I wasn't asking for perfection.
I was asking for loyalty.
And somehow that was too much for you.
