Scorn of a Lover

You told me you loved me
On our wedding day
And promised to always be true
But it wasn't long
Till you were out looking
Searching for somebody new

With your dancing and drinking
Out running around
Destroying our love and our vows
You turned the gossip
Into cold honest truth
And made us the talk of the town

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold

I had such visions
Of being your wife
I thought all my dreams had come true
It felt like I found
The end of the rainbow
The moment that I said I do

You turned love to hatred
With your wild wicked ways
All the pleasures that money can buy
Now I'm left to live
With the heartache and rumors
Left here to grieve and to cry

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold
