Never again will I say I love you,
Not once was the feeling returned,
But I swear by heaven above you
I'll regard it as a lesson learned
Maybe I will miss him from time to time
But he'll never hear it from me,
Perhaps I'll cry at the midnight chime
For this pipe dream that could never be
But for a few moments I wore a smile
That had been lost to lonely tears,
Happiness walked with me for a while,
Displacing the pain of bygone years
Why do our hearts engage in foolish games?
When someone wins, someone must lose,
And when our dreams have gone up in flames,
Self-reproach comes to collect its dues
Then Hope raised its head and spoke to my heart:
'If you don't play, how can you win?
Forget the past and make a fresh start...."
Oh, what the hell, let the games begin!
