How many times can one man die
Look of disappointment in all their eyes
How many times can he stand up again
Much harder now than it seemed then
How many times can he watch love go
He blames it on the tide's ebb and flow
How many times can he choose the right
When darkness seems easier than the light
Everyday She stares at his shell of a smile
Couldn't walk in his shoes; even for a mile
The man stands up for a final kiss
She pretends to stumble making sure to miss
So he's left alone, just an empty shell
No one seems to notice but he's lost his trail
So what do you say, when he questions why
Do you wipe the tears from his eyes
What you do is turn your head away
What you choose not to see, cannot stay
