What A Heartache

(album: Halos & Horns - 2002)

I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall

I thought I'd found a safe and loving place inside your heart
And I was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet were lying from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine

What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts so swift and deep
Oh, what a heartache, what a heartbreak
Love ain't always what it appears to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

It just goes to show that you never can tell
'Cause I really thought that I knew you well
I still can't believe I could be deceived so easily
Are all these wishes I'm wishing to myself
Just rusty coins in a wishing well?
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me

Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be
Oh, what a heartache, what a heartbreak
Love is two-faced and easy to believe
Oh, what a heartache, what a heartache
What a mistake to think I could believe
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts so quick and deep
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache
What a heartache, what a heartache
What a heartache
Ooh, what a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
What a heartbreak you turned out to be
