Dolly Parton What a Heartache song lyrics

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
