The Cheating Heart



Funny face,
i'm leaving you today,
cause i know you've been cheating,
and i don't feel it's okay,
so lets close this picture,
say our goodbyes,
even though i lie,
for i'll be hurting for awhile.
Funny face,
there's no need to cry,
i just want some space,
to work things through.
for there's nothing to do,
since i saw him with you.
Funny face,
i still can't deny,
i want you still inside,
though you put me through a wringer,
f*ck*ng with a stranger,
so let us be apart,
cause you're the one with,
the cheating heart.
