love was a game
i used to play
i got my heart broken
a millions ways
i broke many
as i lived
recklessly through the nights
always washing away the pain
with the light
but then i met you
and now
i can’t go back to
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
you broke something inside of me
replaced all the lies
with the truth
you undid years of
me feeling helpless
to the game of use
and abuse
but when i loved you
it changed me
and now
i can’t go back
to the way i used to be
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
now you’re far away
but you’re near
you’re there
but you’re not here
they tell me i am crazy
for believing in love
for holding it scared
tell me to get with the times
but i don’t want to treat
love as a game
so i've changed my ways
‘cause i can’t live for a lie
and i listen to my heart
each and every night
and i can’t go back
to the way i used to be
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
call me crazy i believe
but i can’t treat love as a game
and i can’t go back
to the way i used to be
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
the way i used to be
