Lyrics
Every time I see you it's so much
better than the time before
You seem to be improving... when you
turn on the charm
It's impossible to ignore
Yeh I suppose that means you're
getting older
People know your face...
All those friends and relations...
everyone must have a place
For a guarantee of friendship
Rule of thumb ain't good enough any
more
Oh we shared our secrets, we had a
common foe
And when you changed your mind, you
always let me know
Somehow we were always on the right
side of wrong
And when the lines were drawn
You were an angel of mercy
You were the one that I used to
believe in
You were an angel of mercy
Now the tables have turned
And I can see right through you
You made it look so easy, yeah you
were always right
From tenderness to treason you faded
out of sight
Behind a veil of sophistication, you
looked so good
But now the party's over I know I
should have understood
That it's a crime to be too easy and
it's a crime to be too glad
So now I've cut my losses it doesn't
feel so bad
So if I try to reach you by telling
you a lie
It's just another long goodbye
You were an angel of mercy
You were the one that I used to
believe in
You were an angel of mercy
Now the tables have turned
And I can see right through you
Every time I see you it's so much
better than the time before
You seem to be improving... when you
turn on the charm
It's impossible to ignore
You were an angel of mercy
You were the one that I used to
believe in
You were an angel of mercy
Now the tables have turned
And I can see right through you
[repeat]
