[00:00.000]He don't know I call him the teacher
[00:05.940]He had hard lessons for the kid
[00:09.800]I get up, put you through hell
[00:11.850]He put me under the same spell
[00:15.940]He lied, man, he stressed me out
[00:20.000]You loved me like a precious gift
[00:25.500]And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
[00:29.900]You would tell me your heart aches,Now I understand the pain
[00:35.000]Oh, why did I let you drown
[00:40.900]Baby, would you believe, that I've been broken
[00:45.940]You say memories play again and again
[00:51.700]I see the reel, now it's real to me
[00:55.000]I gave up gold for grains of sand
[00:58.900]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[01:04.940]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[01:10.900]You had no problems with commitment
[01:15.500]Like a king is loyal to what's his
[01:19.940]You looked for a ring to fit
[01:22.000]While I played wifey with a kid
[01:24.800]Oh, the irony makes me sick
[01:30.940]He tried to make me look crazy
[01:35.750]Nothing new about his kind of scheme
[01:39.940]I laugh when I think about his face
[01:43.650]When truth nearly spilled out
[01:45.000]He looked like me, I get that now
[01:50.450]But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
[01:55.950]You say memories play again and again
[02:01.900]I see the reel, now it's real to me
[02:04.940]I gave up gold for grains of sand
[02:09.850]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[02:14.650]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[02:19.870]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[02:24.500]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[02:30.650]Ah, ah, ah, ah
[02:40.860]But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
[02:45.940]You say memories play again and again
[02:51.000]I see the reel, now it's real to me
[02:54.900]I gave up gold for grains of sand
[02:59.100]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[03:04.500]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[03:09.000]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
[03:14.600]Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
