What a Heartache Songtext
von 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

What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Love ain′t always what it appears to be
And what a heartache you turned out to be

I thought I'd found a safe and loving place inside your heart
And I was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet were lying from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine


What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be

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
All these wishes I'm wishing 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
Ooh, what a heartbreak
Love is two-faced and easy to believe
What a heartache, ooh what a heartache
What a mistake to think I could believe

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