Hear me crying, my heart is dying I
thought it could never happen to me
I'm on a miracle ride,
going up and down I thought it could never happen to me
Hear me moaning, the pain is growing I thought
it could never happen to me
As the story goes, a fool played with love,
breaking hearts just for fun
Then he'd lie, then he'd run,
to him love was just a game
A game you play, to be used and abused,
then thrown away
But oh, then came that day,
and like thunder and rain
In the name of
Mary
Jane, came love and pain
Everyone down on his knees
Just a shadow of a man with
his heart in his hands
I'm of confidence,
lost in this consciousness
Oh, how I hate it to be,
but the fool I've been
Hear me cryin', my heart is dyin'
I thought it could
never happen to me
I'm on a merry -go -round,
goin' up and down
I thought it could never happen to me
In memory, the pain is growing
A thousand can never
happen to me
It doesn't take to fool with love
By the force that's strong
The suffering, the glory and all
Think twice before you do,
Lord
If I could turn back the
hands of time
I'd have a change of heart
I'd have a different frame of mind
In a moment of weakness
My heart started to feel
Against my better judgment
I started being for real
There I was, down on my knees
Just a shadow of a man
With his heart in his hand
Stripped of company
Lost my cockiness
Oh how I hated to be
But the fool
I'm on a merry -go -round,
going up and down I thought it could never happen to me
Hear me moanin', the pain is growin' I thought it could never,
never happen to me
Hear me cryin', my heart is dyin'
I thought it could never,
never happen to me
Get me movin', train is goin'
I thought it could never happen to me
I'm on a merry -go -round,
goin' up and down
I thought it could never happen to me
Hear me cryin', my heart is dyin'
I thought it could never happen to me
In the mornin' the pain is gone and...
