How can I?

How can I?

I listened to all your stories

all those bitter memories

how your 3 exes broke your heart

made you cry and tore you apart

The first cheated you moved on still believing in love

You gave your life to the second and he left when push came to shove

The third was no way better

because you found out he was a player

I bet they all spat lyrics to you

put on a show which seem real and there was nothing you could do

Now you believe all men dogs right?

Well ain't that contrite?

There’s a saying that goes don't let the past ruin your future

You are wounded so let me be your suture

I don’t know if I can say anything which they hadn’t already said

And maybe their main purpose was to get you in bed

I want to be the fourth and last

Let me close off the cheating episode

I promise my love for you won’t corrode

I can’t blame you for the way you now look at men

I cant blame you if you think I’m one of them who will just break your heart again

but I’m begging you please don’t let good suffer for the bad

because if you give me a chance I’ll be the best you've ever had

But let me prove my love to you

whether it may take five six or ten years

just spending my time with you will do

I would say I love you but I bet the previous three already did

and now they've all disappeared off the grid

I know my words wont mean anything

So I’ll let my actions speak and when you’re ready I will give you a ring

Do not give up on love please

all you have experienced so far is just disease

Give me a chance to show you what love should be like

Just give me chance, I may be a tike

But I promise I won’t make you cry nor would you have to say goodbye

All I’m asking is How can I?
