Cheating Heart

Why is it always the ones you least expect
The ones you love and deeply respect.
Only to have them rip you apart.
By telling you they have a cheating heart.
At times it seems love is a waste.
And those in love need a slap in the face.
I can't trust my heart, it has lead me wrong.
Why can't i learn to be strong.
To stay away from how i feel.
And learn to face what is real.
That love is a fairy tale, a stupid lie.
I avoid the pain of love, so as to not cry.
I avoid love to keep from falling apart.
All because of that one cheating heart.
