SECOND TIME’S THE HARM (Cooper/Jones)
© 2025 All Rights Reserved
 
The first time you ended things 
I couldn’t breathe at all 
I cried my eyes dry of tears 
With not one left to fall 

But then you went and changed your mind 
And came back to my arms
How was I to know that
Second time’s the harm
 
Second time’s the harm
Coz I fell twice as hard 
They said not to go back 
When you asked for one more chance 
Fool me once, then shame on you
Now shame on me twice for trusting you
I fell again for that false charm
And now second time’s the harm

What we put each other through 
Would fill a drug store novel 
Love became our torture tool
To make each other grovel 

When daily fights became the norm 
With both our hearts at stake
You ended it again to keep safe yours 
And I felt mine just break
 
Second time’s the harm
Coz I fell twice as hard 
Friends said not to go back 
When you asked for one more chance 
Fool me once, then shame on you
Now shame on me twice for trusting you
I fell again for that false charm
And now second time’s the harm

Did you know that red flags make good scarves 
I smiled in denial
Swapped my scars for beauty marks 
Pretending all the while 
That it was just a one-off, a bump along the road 
But when you broke up with me a second time
You split my very soul 
 
Second time’s the harm
Coz I fell twice as hard 
They said not to go back 
When you asked for one more chance 
Fool me once, then shame on you
Now shame on me twice for trusting you
I fell again for that false charm
And now second time’s the harm
I fell again for that false charm
And now second time’s the harm
