about

Side two, track four

lyrics

100 Times (Perrin)
I can’t recall exactly when we hit this wall
But when I don’t know what to say I tend to look the other way
And you don’t talk much anyway and so we go from day to day
Both staring straight ahead until it’s time for bed

And even though we’ve been through this
A hundred times before
Because you don’t know how to love yourself
I have to love you more

Until you tell me what to do I won’t know how to talk to you
As I can’t make things right I just try to be polite
And as for you it seems there’s nothing I can do to compensate for what you think I took
You can freeze me with a look

Letting go’s the hardest thing but holding on to anything
Gets harder everyday as I feel you slip away
So take your time in leaving me my only crime was wanting
what was never mine to hold and maybe getting old

And even though we’ve been through this
A hundred times before
Until you find a way to love yourself
I’ll have to love you more
