Lyrics

You were the one that I put all my chips on
          Nobody could have told me you weren’t true
Half of my heart is somewhere deep inside you
          I don’t know where your heart is… girl, do you?
Do you remember when we made a promise?
          “I’ll never leave you,” we said through our tears
We had a love we knew would last forever
          I guess forever only lasts ten years!

I’m alone in our room, but I see you
          Smiling at me as if you were here today
It’s just the ghost of you when you loved me
          My heart’s pounding as the vision fades away

What did I do to you that was so awful
          That you could treat me like an enemy?
Nobody’s perfect, but I tried so hard, Dear.
          Why do you serve this dish of pain to me?

Take your dream to be free in Colorado
          Give up love, so you can go and play “the game”
You don’t fool me with your false bravado
          You’re so fragile, you can’t even say my name

Don’t be surprised if you hear through the grapevine
          That I’ve started loving someone new
“You just don’t get it!” you said, over and over
          Excuse me, now, but I believe I do!
You were the one that I put all my chips on
          Nobody could have told me you weren’t true
Half of my heart is somewhere deep inside you
          I don’t know where your heart is… girl, do you?
