Intro


Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room
                                
That I could choose another over her
                          
You always said I was an actor, baby
                                    
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

That you never saw the signs
       
That you never lost your grip
        
Oh, come on now
                          
That's such a childish claim
       
Now I wear the brand of traitor
          
Don't it seem a bit absurd
                                       
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
                                      
When it's clear I was so obviously framed



        
Now you act so surprised
   
To hear what you already know
                                 
And all you really had to do was ask
                    
I'd have told you straight away
            
All those lies were truth
                          
And all that was false was fact



Now you hold me close and hard

But I was like a statue at most
                                  
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt

Now you're clawing at my throat

And you're crying all is lost
                                        
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
                                        
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt


Repeat Intro.

Was it you who told me once

Now looking back it seems so real
                                          
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
                          
So why is it now after I had my fill
                                          
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
                              
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
                              
Shall we call this a lesson learned?

End on Em
