In his mind
Burns the picture of a girl
Lost in time
Just one lie had changed his world
His dreams were gone
And she won't be back again
This time he's sure
She's playin' a game, playin'

Mind games, mind games
She was playin' with his heart
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' him apart

In her eyes
There's a hurt that just won't heal
And she cries
For the love she's lost and her heart
No longer feels the fire
She can never get it back again
Wounds never heal
At night, she remembers the pain
Remembers the pain of

Mind games, mind games
He was playin' with her heart
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' her apart

Mind games, mind games
How were they to know that
They were caught up in this game
That hurts so bad?

As the years go by
They see the mistakes they've made
Now they're payin' the price
All the games they played
They should have known it from the start
It's the game of broken hearts

Yes, it's gone
And it won't be back again
Late at night
Time after time
They remember the pain
Remember the pain, playin'

Mind games, they're all the same
It's the game of broken hearts
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' them apart

Mind games, mind games
How were they to know that
They were caught up in this game
That hurts so bad?
Caught up in this game
That hurts so bad
Caught up in this game
That hurts so bad
