The Clarks - True Believer lyrics

She stepped in the light Opening night And delivered her lines Life is nothing she sighed Nothing without The fire inside She lives alone And cries when she paints Self-portraits seldom seen She swore she loved me and I believed her Then she lowered her eyes There's a real thin line between actor and deceiver She knew how to play the true believer On the edge of the night She studied her lines For the very last time Life is nothing she cried Nothing without Someone by your side She lived alone And died on the stages Of her broken dreams She swore she loved me and I believed her And then I saw that look in her eyes There's a fine black thread between deceived and deceiver She once played the true believer
