broken toy

Sophie Ellis Bextor

The way you used to hold me always felt so divine
And nobody told me
That after the lonely
I'd have a love all mine

But summer turned to winter
It never could last
What once would amuse you
Had now made me lose you
It just happened far too fast
And I know that it's over for good

You told me the well would never run dry
But your words aren't true
Look at me and how you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me clos?
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a brok?n toy

The coils and the motor
They're hidden from sight
But under the surface
The heart has a purpose
That brings it all to life
It needs a little nurture
Or else it'll die
Too long in the shadows
Will only bring sorrows
The story of you and I
And I know that it's over for good

You told me the well would never run dry
But your words aren't true
I know you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me close
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy

L'll alwavs wait for you
You'll pick me up again
And I'II be on the mend
Though I might turn to dust
I'll never turn to stone
My heart is yours to own

You told me the well would never run dry
But your words aren't true
Look at me and how you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me close
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a broken, like a broken toy
