[Instrumental Intro]
[Refrain]
Well, the truth, it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
[Verse 1]
That you never saw the signs, that you never lost your grip
Oh, come on now, that's such a childish claim
Now I wear the brand of traitor, don't it seem a bit absurd?
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
[Verse 2]
And now you act so surprised to hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away, all those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact
Now you hold me close and hard, but I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat and you're crying, "All is lost"
But your tears they fell so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they fell so hot upon my shirt
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Well, the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just an amateur
[Verse 3]
Was it you who told me once?
Now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So, why is it now, after I've had my fill
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
