How Many Times Will I Have to?
How many times Will I have to look to the other sight?How many times will I have to dry the tears when you turn on the light?
How many times will i have to wear the mask of being fine when I am not?
How many times will i have to smile Pretending im fine and in my throat I have a knot?
How many times will i have to read a book to hide my stories between the pages?
How many times will i have to pretend I'm sleeping not to be asked for?
How many times will i have to pray lying to myself about new changes?
How many times will i have to escape to a place where nobody will wait for?
There'll be one day When I won't wake up.
There'll be one day When I won't give up.
Philosophies and theories have not compensated the questions that killed my mind.
There'll be one day When I won't be living breathless and hopeless.
There'll be one day When I won't be rejected by non-interested wishes and fearless.
Theorems and hypothesis have not healed the ultimate truth i couldn't find?
How many times will I have to shut up to make everything fine?
How many times will I have to pretend I'm happy through my loneliness?
How many times will I have to make you believe I cry for happiness?
How many times will I have to run where I don't see the finish line?
There'll be a day When you don't see me walking and begging in your room.
There'll be a day you will miss someone waiting for you without my perfume.
Blaming me will not make you free how you played and killed my illusion.
There'll be a day when you will see your dreams stop.
There'll be a day When you will see you are not on the mountain top.
Taking me for granted will not stop me when I used to be in your cold prison.
HOW MANY TIMES WILL I HAVE TO?
