How Many Times?

How many times do I need to score to make you happy?
How many times do I make myself cry so you will notice me?
How many times do I change my clothes to look pretty for you?
How many times should I cry myself to sleep because I can’t get you off my mind?
Why don’t you hear me, see me, love me the way you did?
How many times will you hurt me before I realize my fear has overcome my love for you?
