A Game of Hearts

Verse 1

You know that if you look

There's a story in every heart

Some live happily ever after

And others broken in the dark

It's just a game of hearts

Some lose, everybody wins

Verse 2

You got my picture

But it don't show the things you can't see

You see my smile

But you don't see the pain that's inside of me

You want the best of me, yeah

But you'll never know until we begin

Chorus

'Cause love is a tough road

A hard ride, the last ride

A long walk in the rain

A dead-end street, a sweet surrender

A whisper and a scream

It can make you feel good

It can make you feel bad

Make you reach for the stars

Leave you begging on bended knee

It can bring you to tears

It'll make you laugh and cry

Give you hope for tomorrow

Or make another sad song

But it's a game of hearts

And we all play this game

Verse 3

You can build it like a castle

You can tear it down like a wall

You can hold it tight or let it go

You can have it all

But baby, you're never safe

No, nobody's ever safe

Verse 4

If you play to win

You'll always lose sometimes

You can't keep your heart

In a box and hope to stay dry

Verse 5

You gotta take a chance

And take it on the chin

It's just a game of hearts

And everybody plays again

Chorus

Love is a tough road

A hard ride, the last ride

A long walk in the rain

A dead-end street, a sweet surrender

A whisper and a scream

It can make you feel good

It can make you feel bad

Make you reach for the stars

Leave you begging on bended knee

It can bring you to tears

It'll make you laugh and cry

Give you hope for tomorrow

Or make another sad song

But it's a game of hearts

Bridge

There's no rule book

There's no way to play it safe

You just gotta believe

There's no guarantee

All you can do

Is give it all you've got and hope for the best

Chorus

'Cause love is a tough road

A hard ride, the last ride

A long walk in the rain

A dead-end street, a sweet surrender

A whisper and a scream

It can make you feel good

It can make you feel bad

Make you reach for the stars

Leave you begging on bended knee

It can bring you to tears

It'll make you laugh and cry

Give you hope for tomorrow

Or make another sad song

Outro

But it's a game of hearts

And we all play this game

A game of hearts

We all play this game

It's just a game of hearts

And everybody wins

Yeah, we all play it again

It's just a game of hearts

And everybody wins
