You Cheated Me

You know I leave this town to work

So the kids and you can dress up decently

When the truth arrives it hurts

There’s been no welcome home to speak of recently

And the lonely nights that you used to spend

Ain’t lonely any more

You cheated me

And of all the times you’re not around

You’re always there to say goodbye to me

And it turns out now that after all

You’re nowhere near as honest as you pretend to be

And the lonely nights that you used to spend

Ain’t lonely any more

You cheated me

We’re not lovers any more – we’re nothing

We’re not even related

And in time the kids won’t know my face

On top of all the faces of me you’ve created

It’s as impossible for us to stay together

As it is for us to be separated
