How is that I cry all night,
Yet all you do is smile
And think everything is all right?
How is it that when I look up at you
You can't look me in my eyes?
And whenever I want to talk,
All you want to do is make me cry.
Is it that you take pleasure in playing games with my heart?
Ever since I've given it to you all you can do is tear it apart.
How is it you declare your love to me one day
And yet I see you on some other girl's arm the next day?
How is it that you can hold me and look me in the eyes
And then turn around and tell me so many lies?
How is it that you were able to make me feel so low
That I wanted to pack my things and get ready to go?
How come I'm only yours when the time is right?
How come whenever I want to love you, you always want to fight?
How come you want to deny your love for me
And turn your back so fast?
But don't forget I'm the one who loved you
And held you in the past.
When you were in pain, it was only me there standing by your side.
When you wanted to run and leave, I was the one ready to ride.
When you had so many doubts and you couldn't find your way,
I was the one who knew what to say.
But you can't take my love for granted
And expect me to wait till the time is right,
Because I'm tired of not being your number one girl
And always kept out of people's sight.
At times I want to get back at you
And cause you so much pain,
But even if I did do that,
I know there would be nothing to gain.
You couldn't have stayed with the good woman
Only run to the trash.
Yeah, I'm going to miss you. Yeah, I might cry.
Yeah, I might look at you when you pass by,
But the heart you once had of mine is no longer there.
You can be with them other girls,
But they can never compare
To the love that I gave you,
So when you finally realize that,
Just give me my thanks.
But just don't come back.
Playing Games With My Heart
I've been with my girl for 6 years. Every time we've broken up, she was in control. She knew how to get to me and what to say to bring me down. And now again during quarantine she brings up...
How Come?
