Everytime you cheat

by Mariah   Jul 2, 2008


It's not like I am weak
Or that I don't know how to leave
It's just that every time you cheat
You bring me closer to defeat

Here is the part
Where I apologize
For thinking that we should
Take some time off
Because the loneliness
Would do us both some good
I soon found out
Just how miserable
I could really be
All by myself

You know it saves me to think even for a little while
I owned the set of shoulders that you came to rely on
This has been my hardest year
So now you're giving up like they always said you would
All that I ask is that I know where you are
In case our timing is right
In case you need more from me
Than a bit of advice
Or a tongue full of sympathy

Think about those songs you play and wonder if the words help you to stay
Maybe if the melody is filled with both the pain and the ecstasy of loving me

the luxury of loneliness
I'm up and down again
I'm losing all my friends
But it's all right
hes forcing me to leave
And I'm the better half of him
But it's all right
I miss the both of you
So much that I can't move
