I pledged allegiance to your heart I was on my knees Out of my head right from the start You were out to tease I chased those rainbows in your eyes Oh, you had me hooked Made you the story of my life Then you closed the book You took my dreams And tore the seams apart When it comes to heartbreak You're the state of the art State of love It's a state of mind Easy to lose And so hard to find I've stayed too long I'm packing up And moving into a new state of love You said you'd take me all the way Now I'm out the door I thought love was a state of grace Not a state of war Flying so blind Lost in a land of confusion But I see you love's Only a state of illusion State of love It's a state of mind Easy to lose And so hard to find I've stayed too long I'm packing up And moving into a new state of love When your heart cries emergency Don't come running to me (Repeat Chorus)
