Betrayed
The candle light was slowly flickering
You looked so contented as it glowed
How could I know that I would never again
Know the feelings your love once bestowed
The thought that you would ever betray
One who would give his life for you
Had never even crossed my trusting mind
Until you told me we were through
I suppose my love just wasn't enough
To calm your yearning for another's lust
When I think of all that you threw away
I remember you with total disgust
I heard that your new love left you
Before the ink on our papers were dry
What goes around must come around
Now it's your turn to sit and cry
I guess it would be the gentlemanly thing
To forget and to wish you the best
But I hope you get what you deserve
'Cause without you, I now feel blessed
I've realized that your leaving
Was the way is was meant to be
Thanks so much for cheating on me
I'm much happier now that I'm free
