(Verse 1) There's a song when a man loves a woman, a classic, timeless tune Paints a picture of devotion, beneath the sun and moon It speaks of moving mountains, of a love that's deep and true But what about when a woman loves a man? What does she get to do? I sang that song for you, my love, I sang it from my soul I thought we had that kind of love, I thought we had control. (Chorus) But every time I turned my head... were you laughing? Was my open heart, my trusting soul, the punchline to your game? Every time I closed my eyes to kiss you, were you laughing? Was my "I love you" just a line, a way to stake your claim? It's a crying shame that it wasn't all true It's a shame that I was never good enough for you. (Verse 2) I remember all the mornings, the coffee that I'd make The way I'd plan my whole day out, for goodness sake Just to see you for a moment, to feel your hand in mine I was building us a palace, one brick at a time But now I look back at those moments, through this bitter, broken glass And I have to ask myself, was I just an easy pass? (Chorus) 'Cause every time I turned my head... were you laughing? Was my open heart, my trusting soul, the punchline to your game? Every time I closed my eyes to kiss you, were you laughing? Was my "I love you" just a line, a way to stake your claim? It's a crying shame that it wasn't all true It's a shame that I was never good enough for you. (Bridge) I replay every conversation, I dissect every single smile Was it genuine affection, or just cunning all the while? Did you rush to tell your friends about the fool so wrapped around your finger? Does the memory of my tenderness now on your lips still linger? As some kind of a joke, a story you all share? About the man who loved you deeply, the man who wasn't there. (Final Chorus - More Powerful, Raw) EVERY time I turned my head... WERE YOU LAUGHING?! Was my open heart, my trusting soul, just the punchline to your game?! Every time I closed my eyes to kiss you, WERE YOU LAUGHING?! Was my "I love you" just a line, a way to stake your claim?! It's a CRYING SHAME that it wasn't all true! It's a SHAME that I was never, ever good enough for you! (Outro) So, go on then. Have your laugh. I hope it was worth it. (Music fades) I hope... it was... worth it.
