I let the heart decide
That's my downfall
No child or lover left behind
That's my rule

Cause loneliness is cruel
And I know
From learning at the school
Of letting go

So come on and fool me twice
I don't mind
Cause maybe the charm will come along
The third time

This is the third time that you were the one
But you're not next to me
This is the third time that you were the one
Guess it's not meant to be
This is the third time that you were the one
It's the story of my life

So go on, ring me up
Cause here I am
And I get so excited
Making our plans

But you were running late
Or so you said
But my best friend saw you
On a date

This is the third time that you were the one
But you're not next to me
This is the third time that you were the one
Guess it's not meant to be
This is the third time that you were the one
Could have sworn you loved me

Once upon a time
A boy could love a girl
And make his dreams come true

Guess maybe that charm's not coming
The third time

This is the third time that you were the one
And I finally caught on
This is the third time that you were the one
And I finally moved along
This is the third time that you were the one
And I'm sad because you're gone
Yeah, I'm sad because you're gone
And I hate this moving on
I hate it
God, I hate it
