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
