Do you ever feel you've been lied to
Been cheated in a contract of trust
Think of all the links in your chain
I know you'll think of one you must
Do you ever feel you're indebted
That the copy book has skipped a page
Hold your hand aside to grace an entrance
But stand alone on a stage
In a spotlight, silent
The soliloquy has got to end
A spotlight and a microphone
All your feelings we all comprehend
'Cos there is heartache, blood and tears
In each story that you sing
Heartache and contributions
There ain't no more emotion, for you to bring
Do you ever feel it ain't worth it
There's no payback for the sacrifice
You could have held the hand of marriage
With children in a house, that life can be nice
Do you ever look back and wish a corner
Had more than just a longer street
Ever wish that person
Had or hadn't been the one that you'd had to meet
In a spotlight, silent
The soliloquy has got to end
A spotlight and a microphone
All your feelings we all comprehend
'Cos there is heartache, blood and tears
In each story that you sing
Heartache and contributions
There ain't no more emotion, for you to bring
Do you ever feel justification
For the let downs you've had to make
You know you've not been there to be dependable
Did they all know what was at stake
Do you ever look on a tomorrow
Who is there to help you look on back
Do you just see the pile of achievements
With you sat on top of the stack
In a spotlight, silent
The soliloquy has got to end
A spotlight and a microphone
All your feelings we all comprehend
'Cos there is heartache, blood and tears
In each story that you sing
Heartache and contributions
There ain't no more emotion, for you to bring
Do you ever feel you've been lied to
Been cheated in a contract of trust
