What a Heartache

(Dolly Parton)



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.



Chorus:

What a heartache you turned out to be

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.



Chorus:

What a heartache you turned out to be

What a heartache, what a heartache

Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep

Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be.



--- Instrumental ---



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, oh, what a heart break

Love is two-faced and easy to believe

What a heartache, oh, what a heartache

What a mistake to think I could believe.



Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be.

Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be...
