Fading sunlight over rooftops
Looking back with wide eyes
As the river glimmers twilight
Red lips break her disguise
He painted her portrait
With an earring and that look
That shows a man her secrets
Are an open book
She never knew him
And she never wanted to
He broke her heart
But that's what men do, that's what they do
All she ever wanted was to be
Someone he'd need
And he did for a while
But it wasn't meant to be
The painting's still hanging
For anyone to see
And the story behind it
Will remain a mystery
She never knew him
And she never wanted to
He broke her heart
But that's what men do, that's what they do
She never knew him
Never wanted to
He broke her heart
But that's what men do, that's what they do
