chance after chance i gave you
to be a better person
to do right by me
and time after time
you blew it
but there i was
handing out invitations
to break my heart
again and again
maybe i was naive
maybe i was stupid
or maybe i held on to
false hope
that i was different
that i would be the one
to change you
but i found out the hard way
that the only person
who can change someone
is themselves
