How did it all end up so wrong?
You meant to hurt me all along
And here I stand before you bleeding
And all you said was just a lie
but by that point I was too blind
I was the only fool believing
Don't cry for me
I see through your disguise
The devil there behind your eyes
Don't lie to me
Your words are empty now
No longer have a hold on me
You had a knife behind your back
just getting ready to attack
but not before the final curtain
and when you'd had enough of me
you had your next leading lady
karma's a bitch - of that I'm certain
Don't cry for me
I see through your disguise
The devil there behind your eyes
Don't lie to me
Your words are empty now
No longer have a hold on me
Then you were gone just as I'd feared
but I refused to shed a tear
kept my head high and kept on walking
but that was all a big facade
and moving on it was so hard
so hear me when I say
Don't cry for me
I see through your disguise
The devil there behind your eyes
Don't lie to me
Your words are empty now
No longer have a hold on me
