We met while I was drinking orange blossom tea
Before I knew it we were kissin’
The words from your silver tongue entrapped me


Whenever you were there something was missin’
What I thought was love crept into my cove
When I realize I was in too deep


Next time I saw you it was with that w****
You lying dog I never thought you would creep
So quickly you left me there for another


My world turned from dazzling to cruel gray
When you left me there could be no other
Close to me in that grave you evermore lay


In my mind there is only ringing
My soul is a marionette without strings
