once Burned — текст песни (Rundgren Todd)

So few and far between,
Here`s a mood I`ve never seen you in.
I should have known not to ask you why
And set myself up for one big, long cry.

Once burned and twice removed
Thought I made it now but nothing`s proved.
Set in my mind not to push too hard,
And now I wind up back in your backyard.

No one cares about the loser,
No one gets a second chance,
Even you, even me, if it`s through.
Don`t you see that it`s one thing if I should lose again,
But to walk away twice is a crying shame.
