How Much More? [edited]

How many more nights
Must I spend all by myself?
I'm looking for you
But you’re always somewhere else
The way you’ve treated me
It cuts me to the bone
And now I feel so insecure,
So lost and all alone...

How many more times must I
Be a victim of your lies?
How many more tears will fall from my eyes?
Before I realize
That it's not working out
I tried so hard to be with you
But now I have my doubts
Have my doubts...

How Much More can I take
Before this empty heart of mine breaks
Over you?
How Much More can I stand?
You know I'm doing the best that I can
All for you...

(Guitar solo)

How many more times
Will I be a victim of your lies?
How many more tears will fall from these eyes?
Before I realize
That it’s not working out
I’ve tried to keep it all inside
But I have to let it out

I no longer want to
Play this game by your rules
I’m not just another name
You can add to your list of fools
I tried so hard to give
And all you did was take
I should have seen through long before
That this was a mistake

How Much More can I take
Before this empty heart of mine breaks
Over you?
How Much More can I stand?
You know I'm doing the best that I can
All for you...

(Synthesizer & guitar solos)
