It was a perfect storm
You told such lovely tales about the future
Your voice was soft and warm
You caught me so young and insecure
You knocked on my door and took me
We packed our bags and we were gone
If you could do it all once more, your perfect con, would you?

If only I knew
You didn't mean it
A serial schemer
A dreamer believed in
If only I knew
You were a liar
When the truth was dire
And then you turned so cold
As quickly as the summer turns to autumn why do I feel so old?

How long it took to finally hit rock bottom
I handed you my dreams
You took them
And suddenly my dreams were gone
If you could do it all once more, your perfect con,, would you?
If only I knew
You didn't mean it
A serial schemer
A dreamer believed in

If only I knew you were a liar
When the truth was dire
When the truth was dire before you caught fire
If only you knew
That I'd get even
That I'd get a light
And ignite the whole scene and
If only you knew
I'd start a fire
When the truth was dire
Down goes the liar
