Lyrics
Cheated John R Wyatt 1996 Don't know if I'll come out of my shell Heaven knows only time will tell Won't you take a good look at what you've done to me I was only but a little child You came in and did something riled Then we played a little game of secrecy Living in a state of emergency They say that only time can do you well Everything has a sense of urgency There ain't nothing which I can excel There's nothing left to see yeah You took away my life and joy Used me up now I'm a broken boy All I know is I feel cheated You didn't care what you did to me Stripped me of my pride and dignity All I know is I feel cheated Now I'm grown but I feel all alone Ain't got the strength to stand up on my own You never really gave a thought of how much it'd hurt I'd like to have my own family But I'm so ashamed of my family tree Don't think I got the know how to make it work I'm Feeling like they're all so much better than me But I know I only lack the confidence I carry all the guilt and the shame within me But I have no need for defense Cause you're the one to blame you see You took away my life and joy Used me up now I'm a broken boy All I know is I feel cheated You didn't care what you did to me Stripped me of my pride and dignity All I know is I feel cheated You took away my life and joy Used me up now I'm a broken boy All I know is I feel cheated You didn't care what you did to me Stripped me of my pride and dignity All I know is I feel cheated Cheated Cheated I'm only half a man I want to be whole again Like him like her like them yeah they got it so together but I will survive I will survive
