lyrics

what a lie
you said you were the final say
and were the kind of girl who wouldn't leave

a butterfly
said you were a maniac
a freak attack
but still i don't believe

chorus
cuz you coulda left
you coulda break down and left
you're trying so hard
not to fall in love, but you coulda left
i coulda break down and laughed
i'm trying so hard just to fall in love

but how could i
when every turn you make a heart you break
but what's enough and should i just say "when"
and so i show you to that door
and i don't say it but i knew enough to know you won't go in

chorus

how you love the games you play
you're storming in, you sneak away
must be the first of april
you said it was the first of may

but you coulda left
and i coulda break down and laughed
you're trying so hard
not to fall in love

you coulda break down and left
you're trying so hard
not to fall in love but you coulda left
and i coulda break down and laughed
i'm trying so hard just to fall in love
but you coulda left
you coulda break down and left
you're trying so hard not to fall in love

at the same time as chorus (not in track yet):

what a lie
you said you were the final say
and were the kind of girl who wouldn't leave (repeat)
