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
What a heartache you turned out to be
Chorus:

What a heartache, what a heartache
Love ain't always what it appears to be
What a heartache you turned out to be

I thought i'd found a safe and lovin' place inside your heart
And i was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet
Were lyin' from the start
But i swear i thought your love was genuine
What a heartache you turned out to be

Chorus:

What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be

Bridge:

It just goes to show that you never can tell
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 wishin' to myself
Like rusty coins in a wishin' well
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me
Oh, what a heartache, ooo, what a heart break
Love is two-faced and easy to believe

Chorus:

What a heartache, ooo, what a heartache
What a mistake to think i could believe
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be
