When He Cheats

When He Cheats
Words & Music by: Debra Lyn & Jeff Silverman
Palette Songs/SESAC, D. Lyn/BMI

I can hardly listen when he speaks
There isn’t one word I can still believe
And so I turn out the light and I say my goodnight
But I know I’ll lie awake and wonder where he is tonight

Chorus:
When he cheats
He rips my heart and soul and all my love from me
When he cheats
I’ve got no reason to hold on to memories
When he cheats

I can hardly look into his eyes
I get confused and believe all his lies
But I can never hold on to a man that is gone
No matter what he says to me he’ll always do me wrong

Chorus:

I’m sure he really loved me
And maybe one day he will see
Too many words have gone unspoken
What’s wrong can’t be unbroken

I can’t find the words I want to say
The hell he put me through gets worse each day
All I dreamed of is gone no stars left to wish upon
And I won’t spend another lonely night crying till the dawn
