Lyrics
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 could have said I would have given way
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
