Lyrics

What do you do when the one you love is no good for you
What can you say?
Theres nothing they can say to take your pain away

you're a pawn in a game
another pawn in a game
you're just a pawn in their game
and the rules are changed each day

you've been deceived
deceived and let down
lied to a thousand times
what hurts the most is the more that you put in..seems the less you get out
you're a pawn in a game
another pawn in a game
you're just a pawn in their game
and the rules are changed each day

the bruises heal and the scars they fade but not those in your heart
a love so real, a love so dark it leaves shattered shards inside your heart
a love so pure it leaves its mark
a love so real, a love so dark it leaves shattered shards inside of your heart
its all in the game (repeat)
