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
