One too many daysI’ve felt forgottenAnd one too many nightsI’ve slept alone.And every time I watch the fruit turn rottenI tell myself I’ll try a little harderNext time.Sacred are the tiesThat love entrusts usEven if they frayBefore they bindAnd I’m afraid I neverDid you justiceSo I’m going to feel myLove a little strongerMake it last a little longerNext time.(Chorus)Next timeI ain’t gonna fall on my kneesAnd come out of love emptyhanded.But next time I’ll be even harder to pleaseWhen will the next time be?(Repeat Chorus)One too many daysI’ve felt forgottenAnd one too many nights I’ve slept alone.And every time I watch the fruit turn rottenI tell myself I’ll try a little harderPlay my cards a little smarterNext time.
