When you told me you were sorry[/s] You are repeating the previous stanza...
I didn’t believe [s]it[/s]. you=is.
Because sorry is a song to you;
Overused, overplayed.
Nice.

Twice before,
three time’s the charm
Is that your rule on life?
[s]Grow up, boy.[/s] What does this have to do with anything?

Your eyes deceived the lie,
Your emotions betrayed the words.
I read it already somewhere in YWS. Do not "copy-paste"
You should have said it like you meant it
Because now I know the truth.
Something is wrong but I don't know what or why.

This could be much better. For me, the end of the poem is almost half of it. Try to rewrite the end(and the first stanza also), especially last two verses.

I didn’t believe it.
(REPETITION IS A NO-NO!!! Very tricky thing to pull off. BUT.... it works here. :D)

Overused, overplayed. <<< Love that.
