I could have stood
To watch you walk away
And put it down
To your uncertain ways
Or maybe, baby
You've had a change of heart
Maybe wanna make
A brand new start
Crazy though
What I say may seem
I could have learned
To mend these broken dreams
You could have pushed
I would have gently fell
I could have played
The graceful one so well
What's that you say?
You were gonna leave me anyway
Any fool can see
See what you've done to me
When your love turns to lies
The actor played
The part of sweet desire
And tiptoed out
Upon the highest wire
The truth to tell
Upon a rope too thin
And so the fall
Of treachery begins
But, oh, to see
The starlet's smiling face
So eagerly awaits
To take the place
I tried to fall
In a clean and graceful way
You should have said
I would have given way
What's that you say?
You were gonna leave me anyway
Any fool can see
See what you've done to me
And I see him smile
The way that I smiled
And I hear him laugh
The way that I did
But I hear him screaming
And I hear him cry
And I see him falling
When your love turns to lies
What's that you say?
You were gonna leave me anyway
Any fool can see
See what you've done to me
When your love turns to lies
When your love turns to lies
