Lyrics

  1. You made me think you cared for me
    And I believed in you
    You told me things you never meant
    And made me think them true
    I gambled in the game of love
    I played my heart and lost
    I’m now a wreck, upon life’s sea
    Alone I pay the cost

Chorus
You made me what I am today
I hope you’re satisfied
You dragged and dragged me down until
My soul within me died
You’ve shattered each and ev’ry dream
You fooled me from the start
And though you’re not true, may God bless you
That’s the curse of an aching heart

  1. The dreams I dreamed of future joys
    You smiled on, though you knew
    Deep down within your faithless heart
    They never would come true
    Still further on you led me till
    My paradise I saw
    Then with one word you banished
    All my hopes forevermore
