You'd known so long that you were wrong but still you had your way

You told her lies and alibies and hurt her more each day

But now your conscience bothers you you've reached your journey's end

You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend



You laughed inside each time she cried you tried to make her blue

She tugged along through right and wrong because she worshipped you

You know that you're the one to blame there's no use to pretend

Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you my friend

[ steel - fiddle ]

Today as she walked arm in arm at someone else's side

It made you stop and realize that time has turned the tide

You should have known you'd be alone cause cheaters never win

You tried and lost now pay the cost I'm sorry for you my friend
