I know what they say about girls like me, Too wild, too cold, too hard to keep. But funny how they light the fuse, Then act surprised when I refuse To be the girl they want me to be. You teach me love comes with a price, Then call me heartless when I think twice. I gave too much, I learned the score — Now I don't leave my heart Unlocked anymore. Time was never on my side, So I learned how to survive. Every player plays because she's scared, Gave her heart to someone who wasn't there. Got burned one time and screamed, “Never again!” Now I'm riding this train Right off the rails again. Yeah, I laugh like I don't even care, Wear my scars like nobody put them there. Got broken once and swore, “Never again!” But this runaway train Is driving me insane. Never again! Never again! Yeah, that's what I said — Here we go again. I tell my friends I'm over it, Like saying it makes it true. I delete your name, erase the pics, Then find somebody new. Drink from the same old poisoned cup, Push them away when they get too close. I built these walls with my own two hands, Then wonder why I'm here alone. Time was never on my side, So I learned how to survive. Every player plays because she's scared, Gave her heart to someone who wasn't there. Got burned one time and screamed, “Never again!” Now I'm riding this train Right off the rails again. Yeah, I laugh like I don't even care, Wear my scars like nobody put them there. Got broken once and swore, “Never again!” But this runaway train Is driving me insane. Why do I do it When I know exactly how this ends? Turn lovers into strangers, Turn strangers into friends. I draw a line, Then cross it anyway. Promise myself I'll finally change... Maybe the only winning move Is walking away. I keep forgetting what I've got, Chasing something down the road. The grass right here is pretty damn green, Maybe I should let it grow. I'm not fearless, I'm not wise, I'm just getting better at spotting lies. And maybe strength ain't wanting more — Maybe it's knowing What you're fighting for. Nothing in this life is free, What you give comes back eventually. Every player plays because she's scared, Gave her heart to someone who wasn't there. Got burned one time and screamed, “Never again!” Now I'm stopping this train Before it starts again. Yeah, I laughed like I didn't even care, Wore my scars like nobody put them there. Got broken once and swore, “Never again!” Now I'm jumping this train — I won't go down again. Never again. Yeah... This time I mean it. A guilty heart at the scene of the crime, I cheated myself, I wasted my time. Told little lies Just to sleep at night, But every excuse Comes back to bite. Nothing in this life is free, What you give comes back eventually. And this time... It won't be me.
