You Cheat, You Lose

You stare into my eyes
and swear she's lying.
I want to believe you.
I'm really trying.
But it's happened before.
Why should I believe any more?
You mess around,
then promise never again.
Well the lies have to end.
The stress is killing me.
I can't take any more.
So I grab my things
and walk out the door.
