Can't believe

that the heart of my world

got me on my knees

prayin' my eyes are lyin' to me

I built a whole new life around you

and in an instant we were through

as our future disappears

falling like tears

are the dreams of a love

I thought we shared and...

It's not fair

I was true to you

I finally settled down

then you gone turn around

and betray the trust I had in you

it's not fair

after all I treated you

respectable, with care

said that you'd be there

now who am I to turn to

Man, I trusted you

and this is what I get in return

you was like a brother to me

but now I see you was just

waitin your turn

when I was out at work

y'all was doin' dirt

stealin' my heart away

shared everything with you

all I was goin' through

now dark skies and tearful eyes are here to stay

It's not fair

I was true to you

I finally settled down

then you gone turn around

and betray the trust I had in you

it's not fair

after all I treated you

respectable, with care

said that you'd be there

now who am I to turn to

After all I sacrificed

to my seed, said you'd give life

with everything I ever did for you to be happy

and now slowly

the life of love you breathed into my heart

is slipping away

dyin' today, if only

never thought I'd live to see

disrespected me, how could it be

thrown away so easily.

It's not fair

I was true to you

I finally settled down

then you gone turn around

and betray the trust I had in you

it's not fair

after all I treated you

respectable, with care

said that you'd be there

now who am I to turn to
