Lyrics
Have you ever thought a love was strong enough to make it through the test of time?
And when you look to find the man you see the boy that stands behind the greasepaint smile?
Well lately, it's been my time to to figure out what is really yours and what's really mine.
it's too late, tonight, to say that you knew I was right.
Cos you cheat and you lie. Why should I have to pay the price?
Have you ever took the time to see the finer points of your life and times?
Took a walk along the beach, you see the footprints never catch the turn of the tide.
Well lately, it's been my tide. To take control of what you thought was yours that was really mine.
And it's too late, tonight, to say that you knew I was right.
Cos you cheat and you lie. Why should I have to pay the price?
Then I caught you out again, and I couldn't hear the words you had to say. but I caught you out, yes I caught you out ...again.
And lately it's been crazy, but not as crazy as you think I am if you think I'll stay.
And it's too late, tonight, to say that you knew I was right.
Cos you cheat and you lie. How come I have to pay the price?
