Dangling the Carrot

Here we go again
It’s the same old story every time
I dunno why I keep falling for it
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
But you keep on fooling me again and again

You dangle the carrot in front of my face
Only to pull it away
I dunno how much more of this I can take
I dunno when this will end
But I hope to God that it ends soon

I’ve got a fragile psyche
Too much disappointment can do that to a man
I’ve been let down too many times
It’s eroded what confidence I had

Tell me, tell me when will this end?
When will things change?
I can’t keep doing this
There’s only so much I can take

You keep dangling the carrot in front of my face
Only to pull it away
Just when things start to look up
Poof, it’s taken away

You keep dangling the carrot in front of my face
Only to pull it away
The journey is up and down
And back and forth

I keep getting drawn in
But just when I think my luck has turned
It all gets taken away
How do I keep falling for this again and again?

I’m getting real sick of this twisted game
You keep dangling the carrot in front of my face
Only to pull it away
Please don’t do this to me again
My heart can’t take it anymore
