perhaps

it was always me to blame

but i never played

never

played the cheating game

i never

ever

thought to stray

and i still don’t

to this very day

it all reeks

of a sleazy wrong

i stand my moral ground

proud and strong

i never

confessed to perfection

or even following

a misguided erection

got no

wild oats to sow

got no

unfaithful ground

aint no

stepping out

aint no

playing around

there aint

no having a fling

not even

a bit on the side

there’s gotta be

a little bit more

than just

a casual ride

i know now

it’s not just me

i don’t got

a broken part

i aint

no fucking philanderer

i aint got

that kind of heart

it’s a damn fucking shame

i got caught,

caught up in your game

i never

fucked anyone else

i only

ever

fucked myself

heartbreak
