The only thing I've found sweeter than lies is you   I bet you'd expect me to walk on water 'cause you told me to      So I fake a smile and play along   The preacher's led the choir in sadder songs   So I raise this toast and hope these words find you      Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay   I never loved you anyways   We all have our reasons   At best, all you needed to understand   Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand      I hear the footsteps pitter-patter across the bedroom floor   Who loves you more   Now that your pursed-lip, sweet-talk remedies    Don't work quite as well as they did before      What a pretty way to carry you the news   Because everybody's lonely when it pays to sing the blues      Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay   I never loved you anyways   We all have our reasons   At best, all you needed to understand   Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand      The sweet's not as sweet without the bitterness of you      Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay   I never loved you anyways   We all have our reasons   At best, all you needed to understand   Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand      It's what you wanted   That's what you needed   Baby, don't worry; you got it      Baby, it's alright; darling, it's okay   I never loved you anyways   We all have our reasons   At best, all you needed to understand   Is sometimes fate needs a helping hand
