Lyrics

[Verse 1]
[male vocals]
You and me
Spent some time together
And though I should have known better
It just never crossed my mind
Someone else
Is lighting all her candles
And she is probably
Waiting for you in a secret place
'Cause that's how the game begins
And hearts that are broke they move back a space
And nobody ever wins

[Instrumental Break]
[clean electric guitar arpeggios, synth pads]

[Verse 2]
You and me
Took some time to make it
And then we promised not to break it
It just never crossed my mind
Someone else
Was making your decisions
And she was probably
Waiting for you in a secret place
'Cause that's how the game begins
And hearts that are broke they move back a space
And nobody ever wins

[Guitar Solo]
[distorted lead guitar with wah-wah effect and fast alternate picking]

[Bridge]
Don't break my heart again
Tell me that you love me
It's too hard to win
'Cause she is probably
Waiting for you in a secret place
'Cause that's how the game begins
And hearts that are broke they move back a space
And nobody ever wins

[Outro]
[vocal ad-libs: da-da-da-da]
Nobody ever wins
Nobody ever wins
