we had our hearts tricked
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance

we had our hearts tricked
we'd worked it out
but then it all fell apart so fast

we watched the wires trip
the power surged
we had it ripped right out of our hands

it took her hostage
and wore her down
we made a wish that no one could grant

and now we're huddled here
naked sore and cold
it's been severe

she had her heart tricked
she had it all worked out
she had her bad years planned in advance

he had his heart tricked
they had it all worked out
that they had years left of happy romance

but then all the needles
and damage done
in the end just lessened the chance

they had their hearts tricked
the power surged
they had it ripped right out of their hands

and now we're huddled here naked sore and alone
and we can't see clear

just the thought of this is sickening
to live out all our years without you here
just the thought of this is sickening

we had our hearts tricked
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance

she had our hearts tricked
but the power surged
and she was ripped right out of our hands
all in advance
