Tried, Tested & True Lyrics - Singles - Taylor, Joanne Shaw

You loosen your mouth 

Your lips and your tongue 

And go tripping over tales of a future 

Where I don't belong 

With every touch of treason 

And every sleight of hand 

You're falling deeper in the pretense 

That I care or understand 

You rolled me over 

And sold me out 

I've been struck down 

There goes that girl 

You said was just a friend 

I wish for you that I was sweeter 

I was weaker 

Could ignore or pretend 

For you I'm just a past time 

A means to an end 

To me you're just another lover 

I can't defend or depend 

You rolled me over 

And sold me out 

I've been struck down 

You loosen your mouth 

Your lips and your tongue 

And go tripping over tales of a future 

Where I don't belong 

You sold me on the romance 

You claimed was my fate 

A sweet, subtle story 

I'm still trying to escape 

You rolled me over 

And sold me out 

I've been struck down 

I've been struck down 

I've been struck down
