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
