look
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Everything is different now since you walked away
Pull the knife out of my back and lick the blade
Cuz I've been damaged beyond repair
There’s bones in the fire and blood in the air
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
I’m different and they hate it
I’m spending all my time in the bathroom faded
Feeling fucking jaded
I’m tired of myself
I'm tired of the these people and I'm tired of this hell
This fancy little town
It’s burning me alive
They spin their little webs
Until they craft their little lies
I’m clearly out my mind
I can’t seem to repress
All these blacked out blurs and all these thoughts of regret
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice
You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
Fool me once
Fool me twice




You won’t get a third chance
That's yo life
