When you've loved someone and then found you've lost
Why must a true heart be left to pay the cost?
Why must a heart that has been true

Why must it be the one you want most of all
They'll build you up and then let you fall?
They'll lead you on, you'll think that they're true
They'll love you then leave you so empty and blue
