Cheated

For those that made it

Those that didn’t

And those still hanging on by a thread
 

Time’s taken so much from me

That what I really want you to see

I traded long ago

I guess I sold my soul

For a chance to walk out the door

And not be stung by the past no more

But with you standing here

Mystery of twilight alive in the air

I really feel I’ve been cheated

Sold out
 

I’d never lie to you

And I’d never cheat you

And I can’t believe what they want you to hear

The truth they couldn’t tell you or baby they wouldn’t dare
 

Sticks and stones and lover’s lies

The truth was always in their eyes

Cast out on a stormy sea

But none of them could rescue me

I’m sick of hollow clones

With no meaning or feeling in their stolen tones

I’ll trust you here today

‘Cause, I believe you when say

You know what it’s like to have been cheated

Sold out, out, out, they sold you out
 

I’d never lie to you

And I’d never cheat you

And I can’t believe what they want you to hear

The truth they couldn’t tell you or baby they wouldn’t dare
