Cheaters Get It

His cheatin' heart
Wants her back
She's known from the start
His promises were whack

He says he'll change
He even pleads
Meanwhile she's
The one who bleeds

Her heart is torn
Between reality and lust
Guys are just so
Hard to trust

Should she believe?
Or know the truth?
Either way he'll leave
With her tarnished youth

With every breath she
Struggles to say
How much she's loved him
Day by day

But she settles for
His cheatin' heart
Never knowing a
Brand new start

'Til one day she takes it
Into her own hands
She won't be a slave
To his demands

Now no longer
Will his cheatin heart
Pierce her life
Dart by dart
