Got him wrapped around my finger
Constantly trying to change his ever impressive mind
Better watch how I treat him
He may lose his mind
He told me twice
Better watch for him walking towards the door
And not thinking twice about doing it
Guess I better bat my pretty blue eyes
And shake these curvy hips
Because love's not keeping him here

Love's just a game
No matter who thinks they win
The outcomes always the same
So before I pick up the strength I need to leave
Along with all the things you said
But would never do
I want to understand this thing we called love
Between me and you

You think you had me all figured out
But keep stepping Prince Charming
If you think you're one of a kind
Because if I told you once
I told you twice
You're pretty words just sting my ears and blur my eyes
A boy trying to be like a man
No love's going to save me
Just look into my fiery eyes
You can't figure out what's on my mind

For the love
For the pain
For all the ways I wished you'd change
For the way I never will
Hide the feelings I feel
For the good times
For the bad
And everything in between
Here's a toast to life lessons and broken dreams
For games we play
Looking back to see
How big our love started out
Then how small it came to be
To never giving up
For rising above
To all the pretty dangers of love

We're only humans but we have good hearts
We tried hard but were cursed from the start
We crossed the bridge with our eyes wide shut
Been swimming in the river of desire
But could only hold our breaths for so long

Faith is the only way to heaven
Grace can't replace the hurt inside
We've made this mess
Now in it we will lye
You turn your back on me
And I turn you around for months
I've been lost and you're not slowing down
Been playing with fire until totally consumed
Tell me to my face that I'm wrong
But you can't catch me now
I'm too far gone

In a world full of liars
There was truth in our song
But we can't hear it anymore
It's coming from the part of our hearts
That should never say goodbye
Drowning in our lover's cries
Everything I ever had
Has disappeared from your eyes
Everything you ever wanted me to know is now invisible to mine

Days slip by running from the past we had
No where left to hide
This poison is more than we bargained for
We are broken
The space between us empty now
Buried below
All you have to show now is absence from my life
That's something you always managed to get right
And I kept paying that toll
Always upset looking at you
Tears streaming down my face
An empty or half-filled whiskey glass
Doesn't matter it all goes down the same

It's dark now like an eclipse  
And I can run but I can't change
The answers or what I hoped they'd be
Now my questions fade like shattered dreams
You were always right
Even when you said you loved me

No control over this now
So why continue to try?
I still find my self-esteem in your dreams
But to get your attention there's got to be a better way
I just want to know why
Because this makes no sense to me
I can't change what you say
And you're tired of playing my games
Our words just play ***** little tricks
And leave us feeling ashamed
So can you tell me now...
Who is the one to blame...?
