There was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
There was a place where we used to seek shelter

You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever

And all you promised me to show the way, you led me astray

You were my lorelei, what kind of fool was I

'Cause I believed in every word you said, and now I wonder why

And all you promised me to show the way, you led me astray
