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
  What a heartache you turned out to be
  Chorus:
  
  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
  What a heartache you turned out to be
  
  Chorus:
  
  What a heartache, what a heartache
  Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
  Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
  
  Bridge:
  
  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, ooo, what a heart break
  Love is two-faced and easy to believe
  
  Chorus:
  
  What a heartache, ooo, what a heartache
  What a mistake to think I could believe
  Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
  Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be
