I gave my all to you
And you made it easy to fall in love
I fell in love with someone
You pretended to be
Was too blind when I was with him
Now I see, so
Hook
Don't you come back running?
Now my heart is aching
I can not find a reason
To love you now
And don't you come back crying
Now that love is dying
I can not find a reason
To love you now, how can I love you now?
I thought my life was over
And I thought I'd never get over it
All the tears I cried
Were filled with so much pain
Tomorrow promises the pain
Will fade away, so
Hook
Bridge
Now it was just a game to you
What you put me through
Will come right back to you someday
Don't think I'm wishing bad on you
Now that I know
You were only here to play
Don't you ever think you have a chance again?
Cause I deserve so much more, so don't
Hook
Vamp
Don't you come
Back running
My heart is aching
