My Betraying Heart

Dinner is over, I cleared and cleaned
Better than I ever done before
I’m a dead man walking, won’t be redeemed
And it’s a thousand miles across the floor
But I can’t run anymore

I’ve been denying
Justifying
Trying to keep myself apart
I surrender
I can’t defend her
My betraying heart

Now I’m saying what no one wants to hear
And doing what no one wants to do
And to my best friend for so many years
The one I tell everything too
I wish it wasn’t true

I’vе been denying
Justifying
Trying to keep myself apart
I surrendеr
I can’t defend her
My betraying heart

I couldn’t keep her quiet
I couldn’t tune out the sound
She wakes me up when she sings
And she sings
It was a prison riot
And the walls came down
I gave in to everything

I’ve been denying
Justifying
Trying to keep myself apart
I surrender
I can’t defend her
My betraying heart
