Lyrics

How many See you soon?s can you whisper
in the ear of a lover before you break me?
You waste your lips on that cigarette.
Should I be jealous yet?
I really shouldn?t care?Oh, but I care.

How many promises should be broken
before I should believe you?re out to hurt me?
You waste your breath on excuses.
But, that courtesy reduces us to nothing more than casual friends.

But, I?ll be here still; you can?t shake me
So, how long should I wait until you break me
Over the river and through the woods to the edge?

How many arguments did you instigate
before I secretly thought that you might hate me?
And, how many lonely hours were spent
Before the magic came and went for you?

Did I drop the ball when you threw it?
I wasn?t looking up, and you knew it
When you hit me square on the chest?

But, I?ll be here to see what happens next
So how long should I guess until you bring me
Over the river and through the woods to the edge?

How many times can you ask for
the world on a string and still want more before I fail you?
You waste your arms on abuses
But, my memory refuses to capture
Tainted thoughts of you.

But I?ll lie here still until you wake me
So how long should I wait until you shake me
Over the river and through the woods to the edge?
