The truth is never easy

And the game of life is hard

It's devil take the loser

When love is hard to find

I'm living in a cold world

And winter's got my heart

I thought it was for ever

Right from the start



Just when i thought that i'd got things right

You turned your back on me

Just when i thought that

I'd worked things out

You said please set me free

Turned your back on me





It wasn't just a good thing

I never would have stayed

You brought me to your altar

And at your feet i prayed

Your beauty i believed in

And no shadow crossed my heart

I thought it was for ever

Right from the start





Just when i thought that i'd got things right

You turned your back on me

Just when i thought that i'd worked things out

You said please set me free

Turned your back on me





Why did i never think the clouds would break

The sky would rain a pool of tears

Now as the mist comes down this voice cries out in fear

Where are you, why are you not here?





Just when i thought that i'd got things right

You turned your back on me

Just when i thought that i'd worked things out

You said please set me free





Just when i thought that i'd got things right

You turned your back on me

Just when i thought that i'd worked things out

You said please set me free and

Turned your back on me

Just turned your back on me
