Dolly Parton — What a Heartache

[Verse 1] 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 And what a heartache you turned out to be [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] What a heartache you turned out to be What a heartache, what a heartache Like a switchblade that cuts so swift and deep What a heartache you turned out to be [Verse 3] 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 wishing to myself Like rusty coins in a wishing well? Wishes come true, they come false, as well It's too late for you and me [Outro] Oh what a heartache, what a heartbreak Love is two-faced and easy to believe What a heartache, what a heartache What a mistake to think that I could believe What a heartache you turned out to be Oh what a heartache you turned out to be
