A faded smile, another trial for you
You're reaching for another shore but you
Cannot be true
A lie was named for you
An empty chair and graying hair for you
A dream a day has run away from you
Can it be true
We are the things we do
[Chorus]
But when you say
All in love is fair
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
And if you say
Just one day could it be today
Look my way as you walk away
Walkin' away
Belle of the ball, I took the fall for you
Slept in my car, I bled and starved for you
And all that you do
I cried a lake for you
You're on the trail, while I'm in jail for you
Through flaming coals to save your soul, what for?
But all I could do
Was wave goodbye to you
[Chorus]
But when you say
All in love is fair
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Takin' you there
And when you say
One more day could be the day
Call my name as I walk away
Walking away
Away…
[bridge]
And when the storm breaks through
The lies in your eyes, bad dreams come true
You'll call my name in vain
And never love again
A faded smile, another trial for you
You're reaching for another shore but you
Cannot be true
A lie was named for you
