You dream about someone forever
Then he shows interest in you.
You start to date him
And there’s nothing you’d rather do.
At first he seems perfect
Oh so nice.
Soon he becomes
Your whole life.

Chorus:
“This will be the last time
I’ll treat you this way.”
“I’ll never do it again.”
He’ll sincerely say.
You go back,
Trusting him and believing too.
You think this time he’ll be different,
That his statement will prove true.

Before long
Your day becomes night.
He becomes aggressive,
Always gives you a fright.
He pushes you, pulls you,
Hits you every now and again.
You make excuses for your bruises,
Always defending him.

Chorus:
“This will be the last time
I’ll treat you this way.”
“I’ll never do it again.”
He’ll sincerely say.
You go back,
Trusting him and believing too.
You think this time he’ll be different,
That his statement will prove true.

He lashes out
Takes everything out on you.
You know you’re in a bad place,
But you feel there’s nothing you can do.
You shake everything off
Like it’s no big deal.
While your numerous wounds
Try to heal.

Chorus:
“This will be the last time
I’ll treat you this way.”
“I’ll never do it again.”
He’ll sincerely say.
You go back,
Trusting him and believing too.
You think this time he’ll be different,
That his statement will prove true.

You’re his punching bag,
But you sit idly by.
You always go back 
No matter how much he makes you cry.
You feel deserving
Of all this abuse.
He’s made you think
You have no other use.

Chorus:
“This will be the last time
I’ll treat you this way.”
“I’ll never do it again.”
He’ll sincerely say.
You go back,
Trusting him and believing too.
You think this time he’ll be different,
That his statement will prove true.

Poor girl 
You deserve much more.
There’s a way out
I am sure.
This time can really be the last time,
The horror can end.
You can be free
For a new life to begin.

Chorus:
“This will be the last time
I’ll treat you this way.”
“I’ll never do it again.”
He’ll sincerely say.
You go back,
Trusting him and believing too.
You think this time he’ll be different,
That his statement will prove true.  ©
