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 want to 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
