It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry

Let the rainin' teardrops rain down on me tonight

I think I make it up, fakin' up stories is alright

Tick tock, stop the clock, fiction is my thing

My attitude is always I and me and mine

Oh, I'm so clever, I'm so clever, I'm so clever

Until my paranoia kicks in then I'll accuse her

Of doin' all the worst things I do best

It's funny how me fuckin' all about

Has got me in this fuckin' mess

Well, I am liar, liar, liar, liar, pants on fire

Lies, alibis, lies, more alibis

From the truth, I'd admit I'm more than shy

Ain't it the times we're livin' in?

Everybody's doin' it, so why can't I?

I tally up tonight's strangers

And stragglers that I've kissed

Training ground notches, perfectly executed

Notches and near misses

It's all about goin' out and gettin' pissed

With eagle eyes and sincerity at the bottom of my list

What's the story morning glory?

I feel so low and worthless, yeah

So, this is where the outcome unfurls and the truth is being told

A cloud has gathered over my head and now I know, yeah

Infidelity and my good friend Ecstasy

Doesn't work, it makes you worse

I'm feelin' so guilty about the things

I said to my ma when I was ten-year old

I'm feelin' so guilty for any old shit

And how I think my missus is fuckin' every guy that she looks at

This is it, this is it, this is it, this is it

The end was always comin' and now it's here

So, this is the grande finale, the crescendo of demise

This is the happy ending where the bad guy goes down and dies

This is the end with me on my knees, wondering why

Cross my heart, hope to die

It's my own cheating heart that makes me cry

Cry

Cry

Cry, yeah

Whoa

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh

Yeah
