If Everything You Said Was True

You give away her secrets

You no longer care

She's become the girl

That you outgrew

You tell me that there's love around

For everyone to share

I only wish that everything you said was true

You said the world was a fast train

You told me life was a card game

Then you rolled it all

Like you often do

We'd be better off

She'd be better off

Everybody well to do

I only wish that everything you said was true

We used to be like brothers

And you confided in me your plans

But what I'd really like to tell you

Is that I'm a fool

You fool around and say

That I should take care of your friends

I only wish that everything you said was true

You said the world was a fast train

You swore that life was a card game

Then you rolled it all

Like you often do

We'd be better off

She'd be better off

Everybody well to do

I only wish that everything you said was true
