(Wiedlin/Valentine/Caffey)
+
He's crying inside
+
Can't tear the hurt out
+
Life's rushing by
+
Like and old movie backdrop
+
The radio's blasting
+
Song after song
+
About the big romance
+
That went all wrong
+
[Chorus:]
+
She says:
+
I just wanted to make you
+
I never meant to break you
+
He says:
+
Have some mercy on me
+
Do you have to be
+
Such a mercenary
+
She's scheming inside
+
Can't stop the wheels turning
+
Been through it before
+
There's no profit or learning
+
She's not really bad
+
Just a gold-plated heart
+
So scared to be alone
+
It rips her apart
+
[Chorus]
+
