~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Verse 1] You held my heart in your hands My heart, though, misunderstands It is sure that you mean forever But you were only being clever… [Chorus] So clever that I never knew What was coming for me and you You would go and I would stay Praying, you might return one day [Verse 2] You chose to leave me, but that’s the past Will you remember? Will that memory last? Do you still think of me like I do you? Together, we were a special that you outgrew [Chorus] So clever that I never knew What was coming for me and you You would go and I would stay Praying, you might return one day [Verse 3] You held my hand and you held my love I was sure you were sent by God above When you left me, you didn’t say Were you just bored, and couldn’t stay? [Chorus] So clever that I never knew What was coming for me and you You would go and I would stay Praying, you might return one day [Bridge] You were so clever – I never knew You must have gone where the wind blew You were my lover, my friend, my life Without you, darling, there is so much strife [Outro] You were so clever – I never knew I never expected what you put me through The past is gone now and I’m moving on Moving on, no longer your pawn… moving on No longer your pawn
