lyrics

I bet you didn't think that you'd be left alone
with nowhere to lay your weary head.
But in a den of liars you have made your home.
There's vipers at the foot of your bed.

You can say one thing
but actions show what you really believe.

Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.

I wonder if you knew that I had reached the end.
My patience had expired at last.
From this position how can you defend?
You've unleashed a lion in the grass.

You might play your part.
Your actions show me who you really are.

Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.

You have all the time left, you can make a change.
You don't have to always be this cruel.
Or do you like feeling so unloved and ashamed?
You act the victim, I play the fool.

You say what you want.
Your actions reveal what you're made of.

Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.
