Riff

Intro

 You never broke my heart

 But you tried

 You never broke a law

 when you lied

 I was a little kid, just a child

 I was a lookalike running wild

 For all our horses hold

 For all the shots we called

 Yeah it was you who made me

 the player

Riff

Recall

 the beauty of it all

 I knew I had to fall

 like a player

but that was false alarm

so you said

you didn't mean no harm

faked regret

with every bit of charm

that you had

you made me wear the arms

play the bad

I had a heart too big

I was a dog to kick

You used to care a lot

for the player

I know

you never meant to go

so why you made me show

you the player

make them break

 make them cry

 let'm pay for the things you hide

make'm go

 make'm stay

 let'm dream for another day

Interlude

 I knew it all along

 you treat 'm well

you're wrong

 you treat 'm right they're gone

 to a player

so now

you made me play the game

without a fear of shame

I'm the player

you'll never break my heart

anymore

when you wake up I'll be

out the door

and if I never find

what I need

well that's another heart

less to bleed
