Who will be next?
Who will be the next in line?
I can’t believe I thought all would be fine,
when you said you loved me, and always would,
and give me the world if you could.

Who will be the next in line to hear those things,
to suffer from the heartache every word brings?
Will she take you seriously just as I did then?
I can tell you now it will not happen to me again.

I will not be the next in line any longer.
Thanks to the experience, I’ve become stronger.
I won’t deceive you by saying I did not enjoy the dance,
only say that with another is where I’ll find romance.

The next in line is somewhere waiting for you,
to believe in what you say and do.
I am grateful that it will not be me,
that from your lies I am finally free.
