[Verse 1]
Yes, you played the part
Of my true lover, but then you broke my heart
Now you'll try in vain
To piece back a dream that no longer remains
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm tired, it's true
Of what I'm going through
It's better if we're apart
[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
[Verse 2]
In playing your game
You broke every promise, and then the heartaches came to us
[Pre-Chorus]
Although you're tellin' me
That you're so sorry
Then you hurt me from the start
[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
Oh, yes I will
Yes, you played the part
Of my true lover, but then you broke my heart
Now you'll try in vain
To piece back a dream that no longer remains
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm tired, it's true
Of what I'm going through
It's better if we're apart
[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
[Verse 2]
In playing your game
You broke every promise, and then the heartaches came to us
[Pre-Chorus]
Although you're tellin' me
That you're so sorry
Then you hurt me from the start
[Chorus]
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
Oh, yes I will
