Because you cheated,
The traces of what was,
holds back memories of happiness,
It was love at first sight,
cruising with no sign of scrappiness,
With my mind telling the heart it will be alright,
In the end it was just me and my thoughts,
A painful trap,long after you were gone,

Because you cheated,
I was under the impression that I was not good enough,
it took me years to recover,
All along our relationship was a bluff,
You were just entertaining your lover,
Got trapped into devaluing myself,
My feelings took a knock and my heart became an empty shelf,

Because you cheated,
That was the beginning of the blame game,
the conflict was within myself,
My heart and my mind were the focal point,
What could I have done wrongly?

Because you cheated,
Doubts started to creep in,
"I was the problem", that's what I thought,
started to search what was not there,
Like you used to say, maybe I was too soft,
Tracing back from all your words,
You had said you don't like nerds,
Could it be that I was one?
Was it really my fault?

Your cheating stole my chance of being happy,
As much as to you it was a game,
it made me think all the girls are the same,
Long after you are gone,
My love life is still scrappy.
