Toy Soldiers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should've been this way
What can I say?
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay

[Pre-Chorus]
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes
Takes the fall
(Oh, won't you come out and play with me?)

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart (Heart to heart)
Left, right, left, we all fall down (All fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (Bit by bit), torn apart (Torn apart)
We never win, but the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

[Verse 2]
It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How could it be?
And how could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me
[Pre-Chorus]
Only emptiness remains
It replaces all
All the pain
(Oh, won't you come out and play with me?)

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart (Heart to heart)
Left, right, left, we all fall down (All fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (Bit by bit), torn apart (Torn apart)
We never win, but the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

[Bridge]
We never win

[Pre-Chorus]
When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes
Takes the fall
(Oh, won't you come out and play with me?)

[Chorus]
Step by step, heart to heart (Heart to heart)
Left, right, left, we all fall down (All fall down)
Like toy soldiers
Bit by bit (Bit by bit), torn apart (Torn apart)
We never win, but the battle wages on
For toy soldiers
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
