Too Many
How many times will you make mistakes
Before you learn not to make them again
How many people will you have to shut out
Before you learn to let someone in
How many friendships will you destroy
Before you find one that will endure
How many hearts will you break on the way
To finding a love that is pure
How many delusions will you entertain
Before you realize you're not that grand
How many people will you have to step on
Before you offer your helping hand
How many bridges will you have to burn
Before you find that you can't rebuild
How many dreams will you shoot down
Before helping one be fulfilled
How many times will you say you've changed
Before you realize it's just not true
How many other people will you blame
Before you realize the fault lies in you
