We were playing house,
Just playing make believe
That you and I in love
Is all we really need.
How could I have known
That every feeling swallowed inside
Would just keep glowing,
Never knowing that it would someday blow in.
Then it was over just like it started.
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted.
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted.
Oooooo

Broken dreams and shattered glass
Late night screams and busted handles
We tried to hide the past
Settled for the lies
And the dirty scandals
How could I have known
The promises would fade now
Turned to stone and fall away
Just fall away.

Then it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
Yeah

The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted

Oooohh
I don't want to be hard hearted
Nooooo
I dont want to be hard hearted

And it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
A little hard hearted
