(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.

Chorus:
What a heartache you turned out to be
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.

Chorus:
What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be.

--- Instrumental ---

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, oh, what a heart break
Love is two-faced and easy to believe
What a heartache, oh, what a heartache
What a mistake to think I could believe.

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