Lyrics
- You made me think you cared for me
And I believed in you
You told me things you never meant
And made me think them true
I gambled in the game of love
I played my heart and lost
I’m now a wreck, upon life’s sea
Alone I pay the cost
Chorus
You made me what I am today
I hope you’re satisfied
You dragged and dragged me down until
My soul within me died
You’ve shattered each and ev’ry dream
You fooled me from the start
And though you’re not true, may God bless you
That’s the curse of an aching heart
- The dreams I dreamed of future joys
You smiled on, though you knew
Deep down within your faithless heart
They never would come true
Still further on you led me till
My paradise I saw
Then with one word you banished
All my hopes forevermore
