Story Behind The Song
The story behind this song, is that I wrote most of the lyrics about ten years ago.. And when I started writing again, I was playing around with a certain chord progression on the guitar, and the words just fit...

Lyrics
I used to play the game of love..Making sure I never lost...
Breaking hearts so casually..Never thinking of the cost...
I knew just how to act the part and I knew just what to say...
But then you came and you stold my heart away...
I used to think that love was just a fools paridise...
I'd pray upon it's victoms never caring what the price...
I swept the girls right off their feet beneath the moom and stars above...
But now I'm just a prisoner of your love...
I used to be a midnight bandit..
Stealin' every heart in town...
And though I never really planned it..
You came into my life and you turned it upside down...
Collecting hearts, to me, was just like notchs on a game...
I'd build 'em up just to let 'em down..
Thinking it was fun...
I thought that I was clever and I thought that I was cool...
But now I know that I was just a fool...
I used to be a midnight bandit...
Stealing every heart in town..
And though I never really planned it...
You came into my life and you turned it upside down...
