​the 2nd time Lyrics by Alexa Valentino

a guide to moving on

2021

[Verse 1]
Four months of my life
Trying to get to know an old bad habit in disguise
Where’s the refund for my time?
Sunk in fresh concrete
Trying to cross the street into the path of lies
You fed to me
[Pre-Chorus]
And you didn’t deserve that day
The second week of February
When I let my guard down
And I wish I never held your hand
Forgave the little things you did
Thinking that you changed somehow
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at the same mirror
I did the last time you left me like this
I recognize the tеars I see
I’m watching as they laugh at me
Filling up the sink, it’s ovеrflowing
Oh, I should’ve seen it coming
I guess I learned my lesson twice
It hurts worse the second time
[Verse 2]
You have a way with words
Always know just what to say
When I am at my worst
Maybe I’m blind or maybe I’m cursed
Or I’m just a fool
With an ever longing, tragic weakness for you
Falling for the same fake truth
[Chorus]
Staring at the same mirror
I did the last time you left me like this
I recognize the tears I see
I’m watching as they laugh at me
Filling up the sink, it’s overflowing
Oh, I should’ve seen it coming
I guess I learned my lesson twice
It hurts worse the second time
[Bridge]
So, again a second time
This isn’t the first
‘Cause of you I’ve been alone and hurt
Scared to trust anyone again
But one day I’ll let someone in
[Outro]
Staring at the same mirror
I did the last time you left me like this
I recognize the tears I see
I’m watching as they laugh at me
Filling up the sink, it’s overflowing
Oh, I should’ve seen it coming
I learned my lesson twice
And it hurts worse the second time
