Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When you were young and on your own

How did it feel to be alone?

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

Trying to make the best of my time

[Chorus]

But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes, only love can break your heart

But if your world should fall apart

[Verse 2]

I have a friend I've never seen

He hides his head inside a dream

Someone should call him and see if he can come out

Try to lose the gang that he's found

[Chorus]

But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

But if your world should fall apart

[Chorus]

I was always thinking

I was always thinking

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

[Chorus]

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

[Chorus]

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

I was always thinking of

[Bridge]

I

[Chorus]

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

I was always thinking of games that I was playing

I was always thinking of games that I was playing
