Once upon a time she lay there in her bed
eyes red from crying cheeks wet from tears
she knew the truth but she lacked pride inside
but she'd
keep trying and
keep failing
but she'd

get up and walk outside and
wonder why the light's so dim
cause' she cried all day and she cried all night
asking herself when?

how many times can a heart break
before it cannot cry
how many fails can lead successes
before one fails to try
I'll tell you that
I'll tell you that

CHORUS
3 more days
and 10 more tries
she'll lead him on and then say goodbye
daylight falls and
darkness shines
this is my song
everyday falls
everyone falls
anyone can try again
no more covers
no more fronts
this is my song
I'm leaving
starting new again

She never told you just how much she really cared
so she'd leave you guessing never really knowing
instead
she would

break down
forget
try to erase the world outside
but she wouldn't give up and
she wouldn't give in
she wouldn't give up
she wouldn't give in
keep trying, keeping trying

-CHORUS-

Once upon a time I lay there in my bed
eyes red from crying cheeks wet from tears
