Chorus:

'Cuz this girl

Has been played

She's cryng her heart out

Wasting away

Drowning her sorrows

With a painful tommorow

It wouldn't be so bad, she wouldn't be so sad

If he'd been remorseful

And not closed the doors full

Of anger and sayin'

That it's plain

It's her fault, and it won't happen again

Though he's the one who played

Shoulda been beggin' to stay

The whole neighbourhood heard him shout

It's not you any more, get out



There she sits

For a while

Nothing raising a smile

She's so cold deep inside

And she plays it again in her mind

Though she knows

That it's true

She keeps on trying to

Make believe

That it didn't happen and she never had to leave

Though it's easy for us to see he's not the one

For her to forget it's easier said than done



Chorus



She knows she should live and let die

But she died down inside

The scar ceases to heal

You can see in her eyes

She puts on a good act

She just smiles, gets a pat on the back

She doesn't have the energy

To resist all this sympathy

Why should she?

After all, it's good intentions

Why all the prevention?

And when everybody leaves

Oh, how her heart heaves

She longs for the man

The only man she ever loved

To be right here

Beside her

'Cuz she's besides her

Self with grief

Underneath



Chorus



It's a while

Since he left

No more pain

No more gain

Nothing more, nothing less

She decides

To search through their old stuff

'Cuz she'd had enough

Of waitin' to break the ice

She finds photos

And tapes of the songs

Th
