some guys are just so vain,
they think girls are all the same
I know different, I know true
see if you can and see if you do

when you walked into the room,
I trembled like a child
when you kissed him on the lips,
I looked the other way
when I saw your back was turned,
I told him lies, your love he spurned
now that you were mine to take,
I'd thrown it all away

saw to it the picture was painted,
hung for all the world to see
shame and guilt of an evil portrait,
wrapped in lies and misery
I took yours away from you,
and you in turn took mine from me
when you chose to leave me cold,
you left no chance of reconcile

fate bestowed that we should meet again
rememberd your face and the pain within
even when all's said and done,
I still know your the only one
my soul is sick, my heart is sore,
no means to an end as I thought before
pity my lies forgive my sin,
wicked deception that should never have been

taken all those chains that bind me,
released myself put them behind me
pushed my luck just once to often
the blows I dealt are not forgotten
love of life has lost all reason,
bereft of hope, my final season
winter's come no spring will follow
no ease of wine or pill to swallow
