Sorry Just a Cheap Phrase
Once i looked into eyes that loved me
as i broke the heart within
Her love for me was not returned
behind her back i played around
A prick i was in earlier days
against her face slaps
i gave no defence
her immeasurable recompense unpaid
wish i could give back the time i stole
Sometimes in remembered haze
tears blur the times you gave
sorry just a cheap phrase
Wish i could erase the days
our pathways strayed
and fix the heart i betrayed.
Heard you found a man worth while
pretty soon a child will follow
If justice is to be met
Fill me with your pain and sorrow
every day and tomorrow
