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


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


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 felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt


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


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 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?
