Cheated

Crystal Miller 1986 (Ohio)



Sunken deep with not way out
You try to move you scream and shout
It's pins and needles, it's cold
Sometimes I think to myself I'm just too old

Pain so far into the soul you can't get it
It's in the core the very pit
Heart wrenching, hard to breathe
The heart  gets hot starts to seethe

I hate you while dying from the pain
I think I'm slowly going insane
Will it heal or will I fade away
All depends on what you say.

Cheated and down
You will come around
