Gary P Nunn/Karen Brooks The lamp is broken on the mantle My mind is blown and I'm turning away It's Gettin' more than I can handle It's Gettin' more than I can say CHORUS: I couldn't stay here if I wanted I couldn't stay here if I tried You were always disappointed in me Guess I could never do nothing right Well, I worked hard to make a living To make that good life dream come true But you wanted more than I was giving I guess that was more than I could do Chorus You cut my heart like the cards on the table It seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on Well, I let you in as long as I was able But now all your games have done been run Chorus
