You used to tell me you loved me You used to show me you cared I used to be the one that you adored But lately I don't feel you love me no more You see, I don't understand what's goin' on with you And I don't understand why I let you treat me so cruel So tell me How many times must I break down and cry? I'm confused My understanding was true love should never die How many times will you kill me inside? Any kind of fool should see the light So why can't I? Time after time, I have tried and tried To give you some space and some time But no matter what I do it is never enough You just refuse to try to do by me right Though I know I still believe Something's got a hold on me Can't seem to find the strength to set myself free So tell me How many times must I break down and cry? I'm confused My understanding was true love should never die How many times will you kill me inside? Any kind of fool should see the light So why can't I? I gave my heart and soul I gave my all, you know I deserve better, baby Oh so much better, baby You know it's just not fair For you to act like just don't care For you to act like I've done something wrong Boy, how could you dare How many times must I break down and cry? I'm confused My understanding was true love should never die How many times will you kill me inside? Any kind of fool should see the light Why can't I? How many times must I break down and cry? I'm confused My understanding was true love should never die How many times will you kill me inside? Any kind of fool should see the light But why can't I? You're wrong, you know it
