Your Flirting Kept Me Hurting

I never knew that I could hurt
So bad till I saw you flirt
With a girl behind the bar
Smiling brightly like a star
I was gonna get a drink
After work so I could think
About problems in my life
Till you stabbed with with a knife
Of betrayal I would see
At the door--It couldn't be
You were gonna be at work
At a meeting--what a jerk
Your back turned--You didn't know
How my heart sunk down below
All the sadness at the door
Where I almost hit the floor
From the sight before my eyes
How did I not recognize
The signs I refused to see
That was in your history
My friends warned me about you
But I tried to see it through
Thinking it would not get worse
Hoping I could just reverse
Your bad habits but I guess
You never tried to really bless
Me with a one woman man
I tried to do the best I can
Now I see your old ways
Hasn't changed through out the days
Your deceitfulness has led
You to another woman's bed
I walk away--you didn't notice
Now I'm frozen from the coldness
That I have to live with now
I do not even know how
My poor heart is still beating
When did your love start fleeting
From my heart to other girls
Wrecking my entire world
