Queen of Broken Hearts

I can tell from your eyes that you’ve been out again

The smell on your breath tells me you’ve been drinkin’

The spot on your shirt tells me you’ve been cheatin’

My broken heart has been once again beaten

I try to understand just what went wrong

But I’ve decided this game has gone on too long

Now 

It can never be again like it was before

  It’s the last time you’ll be walking though this door

You’ve been stirring this sadness for all our lives

I can no longer listen to all your lies

I'm no longer willing to compromise

While you draw the aces and I draw fives

Sorry but that’s just how it feels

No more deals

This crazy in love story started long ago

Though it didn’t take very long for me to know

I’d been your fool right from the start

And I’d wind up with a broken heart

Your secret rendezvous were indiscrete

With all of the women that you chose to meet

So 

It can never be again like it was before

  It’s the last time you’ll be walking though this door

You’ve been stirring this sadness for all our lives

I can no longer listen to all your lies

I'm no longer willing to compromise

While you draw the aces and I draw fives

Sorry but that’s just how it feels

No more deals

I’m sorry that it has to end this way

I gave you chances but you just looked away

I gave you my best but it’s not enough

So now I guess that I’ll have to stand tough

It hurts so much to have to watch you leave

But the love in my heart I just can’t retrieve

Because 

It can never be again like it was before

 It’s the last time you’ll be walking though this door

You’ve been stirring this sadness for all our lives

I can no longer listen to all your lies

I'm no longer willing to compromise

While you draw the aces and I draw fives

Sorry but that’s just how it feels

No more deals

I’ll be much stronger after you have gone

I know I’ll find a man who I can belong to

We’ll share our lives in simple harmony

Instead of suffering through this misery

I wish you no harm and I wish you well

As I am released from my private hell

The love in my heart you will no longer steal

And my life will go on as my heart heals

And 

It can never be again like it was before

 It’s the last time you’ll be walking though this door

You’ve been stirring this sadness for all our lives

I can no longer listen to all your lies

I'm no longer willing to compromise

While you draw the aces and I draw fives

Sorry but that’s just how it feels

No more deals
