Counting – Song Lyrics

Verse One

One true love and I thought that you were mine

Two sides to every story but you were at her shrine

Three in the bed and I was the one pushed out

Four times I saw you with her to make me doubt

Twenty years old when I let myself get caught

A lifetime of misery in the lessons I was taught

Fourteen diamonds in the ring that kept me chained

Too many stories I believed when you explained

Bridge

I can’t count, just want to forget

All the times I cried

I can’t count, just want to forget

All the times you lied

Chorus

You said it’d just be us forever

But forever came and went

Now I’m counting broken promises

You said it wouldn’t be her ever

But she was heaven sent

And I’m still counting

Verse Two

Five nights in a row that you were all but gone

Six years and our child to cement the perfect con

Seven mortal sins and you embraced them all

Eight love letters to her in your lazy scrawl

A dozen red roses sent to her every week

A million words I didn’t want to hear when you decided to speak

A billion men – what did I do to deserve you?

Not one damn good reason for what you put me through

Bridge

I can’t count, just want to forget

All the times I cried

I can’t count, just want to forget

All the times you lied

Chorus

You said it’d just be us forever

But forever came and went

Now I’m counting broken promises

You said it wouldn’t be her ever

But she was heaven sent

And I’m still counting

Coda

There’s so many simple numbers

But still I’m losing track

So many silver linings

But all my clouds are black

So many times, counting the times

As I watched you pack

So many lies, counting the lies

I won’t ever let you back

Chorus

You said it’d just be us forever

But forever came and went

Now I’m counting broken promises

You said it wouldn’t be her ever

But she was heaven sent

And I’m still counting
