Once Bitten

If at first you don't succeed
Then try, try again
This saying I once believed
But now just causes pain

How often do I need to try
Because I always fail
And each time that I fall
I become more frail

Yes, love will make you fly
Even though you don't have wings
But it is also sometimes cruel
And will cut the strings

You will fall and hit hard
Where one thing only aches
No matter how hard you land
Just your heart will break

Taking time to start to mend
Before it lifts you back above
But once you have felt its pain
It's so hard to believe in love
