This song was written for the EP during its recording. Sorry I can't rap.
lyrics
Time and Time Again
You were there
I could see you everywhere
But when I'm at my end
You'll be gone
I don't know what's going on
2, 3, 4
My time with you was precious
Don't always have to mesh, just
Don't wanna be cliché but gotta guess you could care less, was
Everything we had a game of this, this or this?
Warm up to shore up another forced love or kiss
Wasn't a whole lot I could do I wish I knew how could I miss
Don't think I could lay the blame defame the same and play the game
But I was sure if you could fake give and take for the sake of a break
Man, I thought I'd be the one to flake
Am I the only one you thought you were hurting?
Betrayal, flirting and skirting the kind of morals you were always asserting
Nah- tell all your friends what a loss I am
Twitter, hashtag, Instagram
Time and time again I tell you we ain't even friends
Chorus
What's going on, what kind of friend are you?
Chipping away at everything we do
If you thought I'd take it you never knew
We were close, me and you, brother and brother
Tighter than the tightest brand of fighters or lovers
But you threw me out, tossed me aside for any other
'Cuz I don't kiss and tell, just say it went well, you rose and fell and I went through hell
But my fate couldn't wait at any rate my mate you can't relate and as of late you've earned my hate
When you betrayed me, Benedict Arnold
Hit my itch, we made it World War II to fit, cat
But you keep on lying, go ahead
And I'll stick to eating my daily bread
Time and time again I'm done playing pretend
Chorus
I've heard some people say people are branches or they're leaves
Save up your time- it's treasure, everyone is thieves
Trust in your friends but don't think they'll be the nicest
Everything is bad, even presidents have their vices
Gone in a flash- "life is short"- that's what they tell you
How can it be short when it's the longest thing you'll ever do?
Time and time again everything you learn's unraveled and unfurled
Screws fall out all the time. It's an imperfect world.
Chorus
