She combs her hair in the mirror
and looks to the phone,
but she can't dial the number.
Now she's alone.
Makes her wonder why she 
had to be stronger than they were
when it was over.

She cries, "Again and again and again!"
and, "Why must these demons
dress in fields of clover?"

How many times will it take
before her heart no longer can break?

He stands in front of the window,
tears in his eyes,
and wonders how to go onward
when love dies.
Makes him wish he'd been  
much better than all of the others.
Now it's too late.

He cries, "Again and again and again!"
and, "Why must we leave this 
legacy of hate?"

How many years will go on
before the memories of her are gone?

Again And Again
