V1
I was just turned seventeen
Said goodbye to Sweet Sixteen
Like every girl I dreamed love was forever
That summer he taught me to drive down by the dusty riverside
I fell hard and I fell deep
When I fell into that sweet sleep
CHORUS
We played a game of let’s pretend
I never wanted it to end
I gave my heart so carelessly
And when he gave the pieces back to me
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put ‘em back together again
V2
He had eyes the colour of old blue jeans
Face from the cover of a magazine
And a heart as cold as the soul of December
And I was just too blind to see just what he had in mind for me
I fell hard and I fell fast
Should have known it was too good to last
CHORUS
We played a game of let’s pretend
I never wanted it to end
I gave my heart so carelessly
And when he gave the pieces back to me
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put ‘em back together again
BRIDGE
Sometimes a girl’s just got to let go
Cos it’s gonna hurt more than she can know
Sometimes a shattered heart is never whole again
Never whole again
CHORUS
