Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Swindler Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

I've been mistaken
you swindle once again
now there's no question
I was wrong

and now I stand alone
just a dent in your throne
your true colors shown
you don't belong

(chorus)
and now I'm lost
and now I run from you
and now I see just how I bleed from you
and all the lies, all the lies
how could I let you in
but now it's clear, I went along for the ride

hey Mr. Merry Men
I know you'll come again
'till you find just what you're looking for

if I'm you little lamb
oh would you leave again
oh no, I bet you'd stay for more

(chorus)

and now I'm findin' out that you are nothin' 'bout
what I thought you were
and now I understand just how you work your plan
first you're warm and then you just burn

(chorus)

and I will make my way through another day
cause I know beter now
and you'll drop another line on someone elses time
but in my you still resound

(chorus)
