lyrics
Golden locks and a scar covered heart
I tried to save the girl that I loved once before
So why do I feel the pain she induces on my mind?
I guess I'm just a sucker for an innocent girl's lies
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
Fogged out memories of a girl that changed my life
The things we shared before, I would go back in time
So why must the girl I loved be so stone cold?
Same old conversation, damn it's getting old
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
You'll never change
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
And I'll always break my back just to help out you
I guess I know that I have to
And I'll always break my back just to play your games
It's over now, but I wish we never changed
(Hold on) Why did we change?
(On & On & On...) Why did you change?
