i don't want your traditions to tell me what i cannot do. i can make my own decisions; if you love me, you'll trust me, too. i don't want your religion to keep me from what i feel's true. what a terrible affliction, to be blinded by virtue. i've gambled away my heart one too many times. i've trusted the waves of chance one too many times. i've tried to right my wrongs one too many times. oh, i've tried to live a perfect life one too many times. oh, how i've tried, tried to be accepted. but instead, my effort, you've rejected. i don't even know why, oh why, i even tried one too many times. one too many times, oh, one too many times. one too many times.

one too many
