What a Heartache (1991) Dolly Parton

[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
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

[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 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 so quick and deep
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 wishing well?
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me
