lyrics

She was played into his arms
She knew it wasn't right
She was raised without a shield
So she'd never stand and fight
He was stolen from his nest
He was taught to run away
He was born without a voice
So he'd never have his say

She will know it's gone because the rules they never change
She has done her time but she knows the truth remains
He won't call the shots his game was played out in the dark
He has found the line but he knows he's missed the mark

She had grown up far too young
She was forced into a cage
She was made to learn his way
By staring at a cold blank page
She had led him to the rocks
When she knew it was the time
He had fought this all his life
So he'd learnt to walk the line

He will know it's gone because the rules they never change
He has done his time but he knows the truth remains
She won't call the shots her game was played out in the dark
She has found the line but she knows she's missed the mark

He told a lie to shift the blame
He left his loaded gun out in the rain
She followed all the rules and still lost his trust
And watched her wounded heart slowly turn to dust

She will know it's gone because the rules they never change
She has done her time but she knows the truth remains
He won't call the shots his game was played out in the dark
He has found the line but he knows he's missed the mark
