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
