Played

Words fell deep
shattered my dreams
love cost me more
than anything.

The price was worth it
so I thought, but now
that I think about it
nothing was worth that cost.

Lost my heart to you
I did my best but to no avail;
candy coated kisses failed.

[some hurts can't
be washed away]

Forgiveness will be yours someday
I tried, I cried and I felt like I died
I did what I thought was right
though in the end you were
nowhere in sight.

I didn't comprehend
though I claimed I did.
I thought love conquered all.

Naive once more
I fell for life's deceiving games

Played me for a fool
took what was left of me
when you walked away.
