99 TIMES

I'm not your girl
I'm mine
Talking, eyes shut
You've missed all the signs
Facts and advice
No one ever asked
I don't want to fight
I've stayed behind my mask

And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping score?
I'll give you one more
And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping count?
One more and I'm out

Too many words
Not enough truth
Can't get inside me
'til you start inside you

And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping score?
I'll give you one more
And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping count?
One more and I'm out

And you've given me a mountain of words
That pile up over time
Impossible to climb
Impossible to climb

And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping score?
I'll give you one more
And it's 99 times that I've swallowed my pride
But who's keeping count?
One more and I'm out

I'm not your girl
I'm mine
