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.
