You Got The Car Lyrics

The last time I held you, you held the cards
An' I was asking for anything you had
You saw it coming but you didn't tell me
And next thing everything turned bad

'Cause you got the car and I got the brake
I've had as much as I can take
And my heart can't handle anymore

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put me back together again
So I laid in broken pieces on the floor
So don't come back for more

The last time I saw you, you didn't see me
From the sidewalk, south side of town
I called your name with a whisper
So you wouldn't hear me turn around

'Cause you got the car and I got the brake
I've had as much as I can take
And my heart can't handle anymore

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put me back together again
So I laid in broken pieces on the floor
So don't come back for more

The last time I thought of you
Was in this song and I can't get you out of my head
But I'm not stupid, I can just walk away
And I'll break my own heart instead

'Cause you got the car and I got the brake
I've had as much as I can take
And my heart can't handle anymore

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put me back together again
So I laid in broken pieces on the floor
So don't come back for more
No don't come back for more
