THERE YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL
|
THE PROMISE OF LOVE WAS WRITTEN ON YOUR FACE
|
YOU LED ME ON WITH UNTRUE KISSES
|
YOU HELD ME CAPTURED IN YOUR FALSE EMBRACE
|
QUICKER THAN I CAN BAT AN EYE
|
SINCE YOU WERE TELLING ME GOODBYE
|
|
OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
|
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
|
SWEETNESS WAS ONLY HEARTACHES CAMOUFLAGE
|
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
|
(YOU PROMISED THAT LOVE WE FOREVER SHARE)
|
(BUT ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES OF LOVE THAT WAS NEVER THERE)
|
|
WE USE TO MEET IN ROMANTIC PLACES
|
YOU GAVE THE ILLUSION THAT YOUR LOVE WAS REAL
|
NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE LIPSTICK TRACES
|
FROM THE KISSES YOU ONLY PRETENDED TO FEEL
|
AND NOW OUR MEETINGS YOU AVOID
|
AND SO MY WORLD YOU HAVE DESTROYED
|
|
OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
|
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
|
THE WAY YOU WRECKED MY LIFE WAS LIKE SABOTAGE
|
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
|
(YOU BROUGHT ME UP JUST TO THROW ME DOWN)
|
(YOU LEFT ME AND MY DREAMS SHATTERED ALL ON THE GROUND)
|
|
OH, OH, OH YOU ONLY FEEL ME WITH DESPAIR
|
BY SHOWING LOVE THAT WASN'T THERE
|
OH, JUST LIKE THE DESERT SHOWS A THIRSTY MAN
|
GREEN OASIS WHERE THERE'S ONLY SAND
|
YOU LURED ME INTO SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DODGED
|
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
|
(TO YOU I GAVE TRUE LOVE FROM DEEP WITHIN)
|
(YOU MADE ME HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE, BUT IT WAS NO DEEPER THAN YOUR SKIN)
