It was the word from Milo, A word to the wise That set me straight about your cheating and your lies Set down between us like the bottle that we shared He had to tell me because noone else dared I'm so disappointed I'm so very, very let down And you can have the bed and the stains on the sheets I'll sleep on the floor, I can't bear your deceit You gave yourself away for the sake of a thrill For the price of my conceit, you were a steal I'm so devastated I'm so very, very let down You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go And I'm the last to know And isn't it just like you to shake the faith in me? I gave you all I have to give but I couldn't give you all you need And something that had died was all we had to lose And the worst thing I ever did to you was ask you to choose I'm so very lonely I'm so very, very let down You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I'm The last to know And didn't we once have it all? held it in our hands But it's too easy to deceive a trust that makes no demands You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I'm the last to know
