Lyrics for Poison Arrow

If I were to say to you
"Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then I say"I love you"
And foul the situation
"Hey girl I thought we were
The right combination"
Who broke my heart?
   You did, you did
Bow to the target
   Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
   Stupid, Stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was fire
Was only the spark
The sweetest melody
Is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights, yeah but raise your aim, raise your aim

Who broke my heart?
   You did, you did
Bow to the target
   Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
   Stupid, Stupid
I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care
I care enough to know I can never love you

Who broke my heart?
   You did, You did
Bow to the target
   Blame Cupid
You think you're smart
   That's stupid
Right from the start
   When you knew we would part
