Game of Broken Hearts
The special way I’d feel, your touch that showed you cared
We’d talk for hours, make love for days, the time that we shared
You’d make me feel on top of the world, each and everyday
All that we talked about, believing everything you’d say
The passion ran between us, the love that filled the air
Thoughts of going home, was really hard to bare
I was afraid to open up, but you brought that out of me
You saw a deeper person, something no one else could see
Somehow I came alive, things I haven’t felt in years
You took away the sadness; you took away the fears
I never knew a love like this, really could exist
With other men I’ve known, this is what I missed
You opened a whole new world, when I fell in love with you
And I was blind to all the things you do
My world seemed complete when I became your wife
I visioned happiness for the rest of my life
Then one day it happened, you smiled at another
The one you called a friend, then became your lover
How can you give such happiness, then take it all away?
And when I asked you why, you had nothing to say
When I saw you together, that’s when my heart died
And feeling it happen, each time that you lied
Not only was I losing you, you were losing me
It didn’t seem to matter, I’m sure you couldn’t see
Not understanding why, is the hardest thing of all
What we built between us, and watching it fall
You shattered my world, and trust then was lost
My love and security, and all that it cost
The hurt still remains, because you made it last so long
And in my prayers I ask for strength, just to carry on
You left me with feelings that will never go away
Every night I ask for help, to get me through the day
Sometimes I get scared, because of doubts I once had
You took away my smile, and I’m back to being sad
I know it’s wrong to make you feel, guilty all the time
But it still hurts so bad, for taking what was mine
You say you believe our love, will see us through
And for giving just a little more, in everything you do
For helping to know, that your love was always there
And that special way of yours that shows you really care
I can’t pretend it’s over, in my mind and heart it shows
You need to fill the emptiness so again, my heart glows
Make me feel your love once more, the way it use to be
Take away the sadness, and set my soul free
Whisper words of romance, and touch me in that way
And the only tears I cry, will be those of our wedding day
Tell me that you love me, make me believe that this is true
I need to feel these things, to want to spend my life with you
It’s like starting over, with a man I never knew
Still a bit uneasy, when I’m making love to you
Just take a moment; try to imagine how it is for me
To shut out those thoughts, when that’s all my mind can see
As it is hard to handle, this lonely broken heart
The last thing I want to see, is our love falling apart
You took things for granted, I know you will admit
For you would turn back time, if time would permit
I know in my heart that I should just move on
You’re having a hard time, admitting you are wrong
I fell in love with you, how quickly I came to see
True love is over rated, not meant for one like me
Next time you feel temptation will you be strong
Remember you’re committed, and where you belong
You hold my happiness in your hands, for the last time
And never share another thing, after promising it’s mine
Understand I ‘m a strong woman, the rarest of all gems
For the life I choose to live, you will no longer condemn
I will stand on my own two feet, and run toward a new path
For all that you have done, you’ll surely feel the wrath
I know I’m a special person, and can carry forth on my own
I no longer need your love, the kind that you have shown
If loving you were easy, I probably wouldn’t love you at all
Needing you here to pick me up, every time that I fall
I wasn’t prepared for all that your love brings
And I’ll hold on to the memories, made of little things
I hope that one day, you will come to realize
How perfect our love is, when seen through my eyes
A captivating story, ending only where it starts
An all too predictable cycle, this game of broken hearts
