Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around
I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed
What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me
Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show
There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed
What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me
What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me
There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed
What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me
What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to meLook at the powerful people
Stealing the sun from the day
Wish I could do something about it
When all I can do is pray
It's a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And Sunday when there's time
I think of these things on my mind
And I don't know
Where I will go
Look at the ominous people
Draining the salt from the sea
Wish I could just stand up and shout it
Why can't they let goodness be
Oh it's a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And some day when there's time
I think of these things on my mind
And I don't know
Where I will go
Come on you world won't you give a damn
Turn on some lights and see this garbage can
Time is the essence if we plan to stay
Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home
Wish I could just stand up and shout it
Why can't they let goodness be
Oh it's a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And Sunday when there's time
I think of these things on my mind
Oh and Monday there's no time
So I close both my eyes and I'm blind
And I don't care where oh where is my prayer
