THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
I've lost a second rhyme
this is the second crime
I've lost the sublime
this is the second one
the second time it's done
the second end of fun
it has begun
the end is so much harder
when it's brought about by lovers
when a best friend's betrayal
keeps you alone under covers
the end is so much more painful
when you must face it alone
like a song is so much sadder
when it's sung in monotone
the second time
love walks away
the second time
this sad song plays
the second time
nothing to say
the second time
nobody stays
it is boring monotony
so what to you expect here
a song without a melody
what's the sound of a tear?
the risk of giving everything
is losing everything - amen
and it's time for me to sing
it's happening again
this is the second time
I've lost a second rhyme
this is the second crime
I've lost the sublime
this is the second one
the second time it's done
the second end of fun
it has begun
the melody of monotone
left lost and on my own
the melody of monotone
facing the end alone
the second time
love walks away
the second time
this sad song plays
the second time
nothing to say
the second time
nobody stays
Second Time
