The lamp is broken on the mantle

My mind is blown and i'm turning away

It's gettin' more than i can handle

It's gettin' more than i can say

I couldn't stay here if i wanted

I couldn't stay here if i tried

You were always disappointed in me

Guess i could never do nothing right

Well, i worked hard to make a living

To make that good life dream come true

But you wanted more than i was giving

I guess that was more than i could do

You cut my heart like the cards on the table

It seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on

Well, i let you in as long as i was able

But now all your games have done been run
