Brick and Mordar

And it hurts to think you never cared All I asked was that you would be there But it's easier to play the game I gave you all of me, I'm such a fool Cause what I want, it never follows through It's nothing new I hope you got what you wanted Did you get all that you needed? Cause now I'm just another name On your list Just another notch on your bed-post And you're just another scar on my heart Another layer to my wall Your words were Nothing more than letters Your actions nothing more than moves I wish that I could be like you Life would be much easier With a heart that's made of stone Between your beautiful lies I lost the truth I would change it all if I could choose I've never felt so used Despite your promises deep down I know I would hear them say "I told you so" But the pain I cannot show I hope you got what you wanted Did you get all that you needed? Cause now I'm just another name On your list Just another notch on your bed-post And you're just another scar on my heart Another layer to my wall Your words were Nothing more than letters Your actions nothing more than moves I wish that I could be like you Life would be much easier With a heart that's made of stone (Repeat 1x) Mid-Tempo Verses: F - C - B6 (+1 octave) Bridge & Chorus: F - C - D - B6 (+ 1 octave) Copyright 2009 by Shannon Elizabeth O'Brien
