That unmistakable look is all it took
A backwards glance from a married man
Like a bird of paradise, one brilliant disguise
That hope was mine, so fragile in your hands
You took me by surprise
This is the story of a sordid love affair
Of a heart that broke and was stripped bare
A mind that's left to wandering has no rest
The brain scans for answers, it scavenges
Like a crow that flies in the night, it ravages
That trust was mine, so fragile in your hands
You are the hurting kind
This is the story of a sordid love affair
Of a heart that broke and found no repair
If you peel away the layers what you get
Is a mixture of desire with kisses and prayers
But no regret
Just enough to call your bluff, but not enough
To make me scared. These are the wild years
No time to count my tears
This is the story of a sordid love affair
Of a heart that broke and was stripped bare
