A Cheater's Heart

I can see it, written all over your face,

You wish you could be anywhere but anywhere near this place,

But just slow it down, try to take it easy,

Don’t always think you have to try so hard to please me,

No matter what you do, you can’t get rid of me, just thought you should know,

I care too much to just let all these feelings go,

Just remember that I’ll always be right here, waiting for you to make up your mind,

Wishing I could stop time in this moment, then pause and rewind,

Don’t want to lose this feeling, a happiness new to my heart,

Don’t know what to say, what to do or even where to start,

Feel like I just got myself into something I can’t escape from,

Only ever wanting what I couldn’t have became habit that’s more than dumb,

It’s all the little things that make you feel like this,

Like when he holds you in his arms or the taste of his kiss,

Its feeling like you’re the only one, when in reality you’re nothing at all,

They are only there to catch you because they know you’re going to fall,

But you drive too fast and you love to long,

Replace real feelings for something you believe is too strong,

Spin your tires and drive away,

Listen to the rubber burn instead of the things I need to say,

Walk away from me like nothing lies between us,

If it makes you feel so good, then just throw away this trust,

Tell another lie, you make sound so good,

Make things seem like you’ve done everything you should,

Tell me what I want to hear, lay it on me thick,

Watch me as I am swept away by your clever little trick,

Lure me into a trap that’s soon to spring shut,

All the while knowing it’d leave the scar, before it’d leave the cut,

Turn me into the liar, place the blame on me,

Turn me into the bad guy or whatever you want me to be,

Pull all your puppet strings and teach me how to dance,

Play with me all you want while you hold me here in this trance,

You can play me like a record, you can take me for a spin,

But don’t expect me to coming running back to this place ever again,

Take the long road home, think about what you’ve done,

You can just think of me as a prize you’ve never really won,

A cheating heart has a different beat, a different way to feel,

Lied so much it doesn’t know what is fake and what’s always been real,

Caught between two lies but listening to your heart,

There was never a faster way to have it torn apart,

Why have I hung onto something that’s always been so fake?

Making friends out of people who never think to give before they take,

And when they take, they make sure they take the very best of you,

But it’s always going to be your fault for they were sure you always knew,

And yet the only way I’d get over you is if you were every bit of gone,

Life with you standing right here makes it so hard to move on,

Sitting here staring into your eyes,

There’s a part of me that’s hoping that this fire somehow, just dies,

Its funny how it hurts so much, but you can always see the light,

Inspiration so concrete was too much motivation for a fight,

Give me that look as you close the driver’s door,

I smile as I watch you tighten your grip and slam the peddle to the floor,

A cheater’s heart has a different beat, a different way to feel,

Should never arose a reason for my broken heart to heal,

My smile only grew bigger as, for the last time, he drove away,

A cheater’s heart has a different beat, and a different price to pay,

Slowly I turn away as the flames explode around me,

Feel the heat cures my skin as it tumbles over me, like waves of a dead sea,

Feel my heart reach out to something that’s always been too far gone,

Just had to give my heart the push to somehow move on,

The only way I’d get over him was if he were every bit of gone,

Life with him standing right here made it so hard to move on,

Sitting here, staring into his eyes,

I knew it was only a matter of time before he’d pay for all his lies.
