All The King's Horses

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put our love back together again

You've broken the trust that acts as the glue

There's nothing to fix between me and you

 

The words that we used are now said in vain

The memories we grew are reminders of pain

The smiles that we shared are lost to the past

The promises we made, destined not to last

 

Our love has been banished because of your lies

Your repeated transgressions have broken all ties

"I'm sorry" to me is but a very old song

That tells of the things that always went wrong

 

A knight I was not, I made no such claim

I promised no fortune, I promised no fame

I promised no castle that stood on a hill

But yet you promised your love to me still

 

'Twas a dragon called lust that tore us apart

His flame of desire has captured your heart

And all the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put our love back together again
