[Verse 1]

You could've been the one to show me

What it'd be like to be a part of something real

But you only left me me with scars

You could've been the one to prove me wrong

We could've been crazy in love

The table was there for your cards

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But you couldn't lay them out

You kept them all for yourself

Left me in the dark, how could you?

You know you were wrong, I should've

[Chorus]

Left you when I had the chance back then

Wish I had known it was just pretend for you

I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful

[Verse 2]

I could've been the one to save you

From the game you've been playing

But I was a fool to think that you thought this was love

You should've told the truth and saved me

All the time that I wasted on you

Now there's no more time for us

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And you should've laid them out

The cards that you kept for yourself

Left me in the dark, how could you?

You know you were wrong, I should've

[Chorus]

Left you when I had the chance back then

Wish I had known it was just pretend for you

I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful

[Bridge]

And you should've laid them out

The cards that you kept for yourself

Left me in the dark, how could you?

You know you were wrong, I should've

[Chorus]

Left you when I had the chance back then

Wish I had known it was just pretend for you

I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful

Left you when I had the chance back then

Wish I had known it was just pretend for you

I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
