How Many Times

How many times will you fall?
And stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take?
'Till you crawl out from behind your mistake

How many points did you win today?
How many times will you throw a ball away?
What is it you wanna hear from me?
I think I'm runnin' out of sympathy

I don't know what you expected
I can't get into your shoes
The minute you decide you're gonna take that ride
There's a chance you might win, but then again, you might lose

I never said it'd be easy
Not ever gave guarantees
The things you have to do are mostly up to you
But I wouldn't stop you, I couldn't even if I tried

Come on and give me that smile
I like to think you're worth my while

How many points did you win today?
How many times will you throw a ball away?
What is it you wanna hear from me?
I think I'm runnin' out of sympathy

You don't get something for nothing
They don't give it away
You wanna do what's right, you gotta stand and fight
You don't pay much attention to the empty things they say

Life can be something you suffer
Something you can enjoy
When I combine the two I still come up with you
Standin' before me with fire in your eyes

Come on and give me that smile
I like to think you're worth my while

How many points did you win today?
How many times will you throw a ball away?
What is it you wanna hear from me?
I think I'm runnin' out of sympathy

How many times will you fall?
And stand alone with your back to the wall
How many times will it take?
'Till you crawl out from behind your mistake

How many points did you win today?
How many times will you throw a ball away?
How many points did you win today?
How many times will you throw a ball away?
