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
