Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Broken Toy

The way you used to hold me
Always felt so divine
And nobody told me that after the lonely
I'd have a love all mine
But summer turned to winter
It never could last
But once would amuse you
Would now make me lose you
We just happened far too fast
And I know that it's over for good

You told me the world would never enjoy
But you words are untrue
Look at me and how you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me close
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy

The coils in the motor
They're hidden from sight
But under the surface, the heart has a purpose
That brings it all to life
It needs a little nurture
Or else it'll die
Too long in the shadows will only bring sorrows
The story of you and I
And I know that it's over for good

You told me the world would never enjoy
But you words are untrue
I know you you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me close
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy

I'll always wait for you
You'll pick me up again
And I'll be on the mend
Though I might turn to dust
I'll never turn to stone
My heart is yours to own

You told me the world would never enjoy
But you words are untrue
Look at me and how you lie
I'm tossed aside like a broken toy
I knew that I'd fallen hard for you
When you spun me close
What can I do?
I'm tossed aside like a broken
Like a broken toy
