Tainted Love -
By Manda
Dreams shattered
Comfort gone
Tainted love
Another stolen slice of heart
I'll say it was him
I know it was him
His fault
Not mine
Not mine again
He broke my dreams
He spoiled our plans
But I cannot hold him to account
He had a loyalty, a debt to pay
We all have them and all must pay
And all must choose when things get tough
And no one ever chooses me
We had a love, a life ahead
A hope, a dream and fun; now gone
And what remains?
Old loyalties
Old ways
Old jokes and old words
Useless
Stale
We had a choosing of the ways
He took one and I another
I broke my own dreams once again
I threw away my lover
And what remains?
