How Many Times? Lyrics

Love leave me alone
I've got troubles of my own
I do believe that I have paid a price
For all the things I've said and done
Every little thing that seemed to go wrong

How many times
Will I regret the chances taken?
Why do I end up
Always the one who is mistaken?

Love leave to sleep
Let me wallow in my dreams
See the icy past fade away
The dawning of a brand new day
The echoes of voice that still remind me

How many times
Will I regret the chances taken?
Why do I end up
Always the one who is mistaken?
How many times
Will I regret the chances taken?
Why do I end up
Always the one who is mistaken?
How many times
Will I regret the chances taken?
Why do I end up
Always the one who is mistaken?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
