Unfaithfully Yours



I’ve got nowhere left to turn, not a single place to hide,

since this lying cheating heart, threw your faithful love aside,

so I’ve tossed my worthless soul, up on fates uncertain shores,

and I write these words in tears......unfaithfully yours.



~~~~~~Refrain~~~~~~~

I will not forget your face, not forget your warm embrace

nor the smile that turned this worn heart inside out,

not the fragrance of your skin, or the love I felt within,

when I promised you my soul.....without a doubt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



For a moments fleeting bliss, our enchanted lives were torn,

devastated, past repair, those most solemn vows I’d sworn,

now a lifetime building trust, is torn in pieces, washed away,

left to flounder on the rocks, now our life’s in disarray.....



I’m unfaithfully yours.



I can still recall the look that you wore upon your face,

of disappointment, disbelief, one of absolute disgrace,

and I still recall the teardrops that filled those trusting eyes,

when recalling empty promises, recalling half-baked lies.



~~~~~~Refrain~~~~~~~

I will not forget your lips, or the way you moved your hips,

nor the kiss that turned this old heart inside out,

not the fragrance of your hair, or your captivating stare,

when I promised you my soul.....without a doubt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I believe I’ve lost the only one, the only one that cared,

I’ve undone a million hopes, I’ve destroyed the dreams we shared.

If I live a hundred years, I’ll not ever pay that debt,

but forever feel the shame, and the guilt, the sad regret......



I’m unfaithfully yours.



Without anywhere to turn, now that you have left my side,

this old lying, cheating soul‘s, lonely, cold and bleary-eyed,

for I’ve tossed your faithful love, up on fate’s uncertain shores,

now I write these words in tears......unfaithfully yours.



I’m unfaithfully yours.
