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
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
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
