The road to hell is paved with gold

From where I stand it’s clear

The story of my life unfolds

And all I have at last is here

My mask concealed no treachery

Your heart was on your sleeve

I removed your veil of innocence

With no intention to deceive

Our trust was built on promises

And all that I held dear

You were the one who stole my heart

When it was yours for free

And then your life was torn apart

And it was plain to see, how far I’d fall

A chasm deep, beyond belief

And now I’d give it all ..To catch a thief

Your character was plain to see

I stumbled then I fell

Your silver words spelled tragedy

Although you seemed to wish me well

Then I gave so easily

Someday you will repay

You were the one who stole my heart

When it was yours for free

And then your life was torn apart

And it was plain to see, how far I’d fall

A chasm deep, beyond belief

And now I’d give it all ..To catch a thief

You took away my will to live

I took all that you had to give

Now I have nothing, I have nothing to lose

But the pain and misery of losing you

-5

And I really cannot see me pulling through

My story ends not here I see

Your debt is overdue

I need no mercy, take my life

‘Cause now my heart belongs to you

We can rebuild our lives again

And our reward is here

You are the one who holds my heart

I give it willingly

You turned my whole life inside out

And now it’s plain to see I had to fall

In love so deep beyond belief

And yes, I have it all .. To catch a thief
