I said I’d never let you down

And always take your side.

However, that was when I thought

I’d be your future bride.

 

I said I’d never lie to you

About the things that mattered.

However, that was before you broke my heart

And my five year plan was shattered.

 

I never wanted to hurt you, babe

Or damage your self-esteem.

However, our love was a fantasy

So I deleted your fantasy football team.

 

I never could fathom cheating on you

Never, not in a million years.

However, you cheated on me first

And I’m taking your brother out for beers.
