David W. Young - Lizzie's Lament Lyrics

I've been a fool
Not to realise
What has gone on
Before my eyes
Is that a rat
That I can smell?
I've been a fool
And blind as well
I gave her hope
She won the prize
I gave him smiles
Along with lies
I gave him love
I gave her joy
Made her a life
Made him a toy
But now I see
The table's turned on me
And in the end
Who'd ever trust a friend?
He is the king
She is his queen
I am the pawn
Stuck in between
I lost the game
I paid the price
Of being kind
And being nice
The skies will change
The tides will turn
Now she'll be taught
And he will learn
Now when are we replacing the mirror?
Thursday. Two weeks
No not Thursday, Monday. The Monday she goes on air. Can you arrange it?
Yes of course
Thank you. And I shall do her make up myself!
So now the pawn
When all is said
Check mates the queen
Off with her head!
The time will come
The final hour
Envy is red
Revenge is sour
For now I stand
And hold the upper hand
They'll see they'll learn
How hot a fire can burn
I know just how
I know the day
I know just where
I know the way
The time has come at last
For them to
Pay!
