Played Lyrics

Chorus: 'Cuz this girl Has been played She's cryng her heart out Wasting away Drowning her sorrows With a painful tommorow It wouldn't be so bad, she wouldn't be so sad If he'd been remorseful And not closed the doors full Of anger and sayin' That it's plain It's her fault, and it won't happen again Though he's the one who played Shoulda been beggin' to stay The whole neighbourhood heard him shout It's not you any more, get out There she sits For a while Nothing raising a smile She's so cold deep inside And she plays it again in her mind Though she knows That it's true She keeps on trying to Make believe That it didn't happen and she never had to leave Though it's easy for us to see he's not the one For her to forget it's easier said than done Chorus She knows she should live and let die But she died down inside The scar ceases to heal You can see in her eyes She puts on a good act She just smiles, gets a pat on the back She doesn't have the energy To resist all this sympathy Why should she? After all, it's good intentions Why all the prevention? And when everybody leaves Oh, how her heart heaves She longs for the man The only man she ever loved To be right here Beside her 'Cuz she's besides her Self with grief Underneath Chorus It's a while Since he left No more pain No more gain Nothing more, nothing less She decides To search through their old stuff 'Cuz she'd had enough Of waitin' to break the ice She finds photos And tapes of the songs They'd listened to before he done wrong In a box at the bottom She'd almost forgotten The music box Left inside Was a note Which she read She almost heard him spoke 'Dear Rizzo, We've got to stop, I know you're hot But you've gotta understand When I take you by the hand A pang of guilt slashes across my chest You know I can't forget the rest You're the only one who knows Which means you've gotta go 'Cuz they're on at me constantly I think they're gonna guess Shelly even found you're dress And Hannah even hacked in on a phone call Not like Rhianna who doesn't know a thing at all I hope you find it somewhere To forgive me But now you're out of my hair I don't really care I loved you while you were mine See you around sometime' And that was it, it wasn't even signed, But she recognised the writing, And boy, was she fighting The urge to break down and cry And as she clutched the letter She knew she coulda done better Chorus So I guess that guy ended up alone
