lyrics
You've said goodbye and everything is over now it seems
And all you left behind for me was dreams, just shattered dreams
For you were all I had, the only happiness I knew
You went away without a word, you proved your love untrue
You never meant the kisses that you gave me
I paid with tears for every bit of joy
You made a plaything of my heart, the heart I gave to you
You broke it like a child would break a toy
The love you gave was like a fading flower
The kind of love that lives for just a day
But forgive you dear, I will
God knows I love you still
Though you broke my heart to pass the time away
The love you gave was like a fading flower
The kind of love that lives for just a day
But forgive you dear, I will
God knows I love you still
Though you broke my heart to pass the time away
Yeah you broke my heart to pass the time away
Yeah, you broke my heart
And all you left behind for me was dreams, just shattered dreams
For you were all I had, the only happiness I knew
You went away without a word, you proved your love untrue
You never meant the kisses that you gave me
I paid with tears for every bit of joy
You made a plaything of my heart, the heart I gave to you
You broke it like a child would break a toy
The love you gave was like a fading flower
The kind of love that lives for just a day
But forgive you dear, I will
God knows I love you still
Though you broke my heart to pass the time away
The love you gave was like a fading flower
The kind of love that lives for just a day
But forgive you dear, I will
God knows I love you still
Though you broke my heart to pass the time away
Yeah you broke my heart to pass the time away
Yeah, you broke my heart
