lyrics

If I could change your mind, or turn back the time
Would I be holding on 'til now
It's as dark as the day and bright as the night
And it's out of control

You took the soul of my youth, held it tight in your hands
It took the whole of the truth, just to watch you walk away from me

Could the King of Hearts ever change your mind
I've got to know the truth now
Could the King of Hearts ever turn back the time
Or hold back the night
And it's all in the game
So I just turn and walk away and blame the King of Hearts

(Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts
Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts
Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts)

I could have turned you away or begged you to stay
But there's nothing left to say,
You're not the first or the last but it's all in the past
For once and for all

Before the dawn of the truth, you held me tight in your hands
Put yourself in my shoes and walk this dark and lonely land

Could the King of Hearts ever change your mind
I've got to know the truth now
Could the King of Hearts ever turn back the time
Or hold back the night
And it's all in the game
So I just turn and walk away and blame the King of Hearts

(Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts
Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts
Don't you blame it on the King of Hearts)
I've got to know the truth now

And it's all in the game
So I just turn and walk away and blame the King of Hearts
Blame the King of Hearts
Blame the King of Hearts
Blame the King, blame the King, blame the King of Hearts now

I've got to know the truth now
Wouldn't beg you to stay, no, no
