One Thousand lyrics

My heart's ablaze with a kind of emotion

I see his face when I close my eyes

I speak his name in my sleep

Cos he's here in my dreams

Whisperin' softly "I'll stay by your side"

My heart's a drum

And my mind is an ocean

You have my heart

So wherever I go

I let you drum by the sea

Sending ripples through me

Like a siren you beckon me home

I must have cried a thousand times

I've heard thousands of your lies

Walked ten thousand miles for you

So for the thousandth time don't…

Don't play with me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me no more

Don't you play with me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me no more

You were well disguised and protected

Cos you wore your mask when we met

And you never took it off

No you never took it off

No you never even knew what it meant

And I tried to reason and bargain

(reason and bargain yes I did)

Even compromised and I begged

(oh yes I begged oh yes I begged)

Now I see what you are

I know what you could be

But I'll never forget what you've been

I must have cried a thousand times

I've heard thousands of your lies

Walked ten thousand miles for you

So for the thousandth time don't

Don't play with me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me no more

Don't you play with me

Don't play with me

Don't play with me no more

If it's not what you want

And I'm not what you want

Then what do you want from me?

I'm screaming you won

At the top of my lungs

So why not be done with me?

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Cos boy I don't trust ya

So it's bitter when I say so

I know I still love ya
