You give away her secrets
You no longer care
She's become the girl that you outgrew,
You tell me that there's love around
For every one to share
I only wish, that everything you said was true

You said the world was a fast train
You told me life was a card game
Then you owe it all
Like you often do

(Chorus)

He'd be better off
She'd be better off
Everybody well to do
I only wish that everything you said was true

We used to be like brothers
And you confide in me your plans
When what I's really like to tell you
Is taboo
You fool around and say

That I should take her off your hands
I only wish that everything you said was true

Ohh yeah
You said the world was a fast train
You swore that life was a card game
Then you owe it all
Like you often do

(Chorus)

I only wish that everything you said was true

You said the world was a fast train
You swore that life was a card game
Then you owe it all
Like you often do

(Chorus)
He'd be better off
She'd be better off
Everybody would be too
I only wish that everything you said was true
I only wish that everything you said was true
