Next Time

Next Time

You've got to make things the same as they were,

You've got to rebuild and renew again;

Take back the world that revolves around her

And make it revolve around you again.

Next time
Things will be different,
She'll be the one who will fall;
Next time
I'll call the day after
The day that I promised I'd call.

Next time
I'll be indifferent
While she's becoming immersed;
Next time
You won't find me smiling
Just because she's smiling first.

I won't expose my heart
And keep saying yes
As I did before;
I'll close my heart
And give much less
And get much more.

Next time
I will make certain
Love's just a casual pastime;
Next time
Things will be different
But that's what I told myself last time.
