It wasnt my intention to mislead you It never should have been this way What can I say Its true, I did extend the invitation I never knew how long youd stay When you hear temptation call Its your heart that takes, takes the fall Wont you come out and play with me Its getting hard to wake up in the morning My head is spinning constantly How can it be? How could I be so blind to this addiction? If I dont stop, the next ones gonna be me Only emptiness remains It replaces all, all the pain Wont you come out and play with me Step by step Heart to heart Left, right, left We all fall down Like toy soldiers Bit by bit Torn apart We never win But the battle wages on For toy soldiers We never win https://youtube/watch?v=LvdLovAaYzM
