Dar Williams - Teen For God lyrics

rate me

Can't believe that the heart of my world

Got me on my knees

Prayin' my eyes are lyin' to me

I built a whole new life around you

In an instant we were through

As our future disappears

Fallin' like tears

Are the dreams of a love we thought we shared

It's not fair, I was true to you

I finally settle down

Then you don't turn around

And betray the trust I had in you

It's not fair, after all I treated you

Respectable, with care

Said that you'd be there

Now, who am I to turn to

And I trusted you

And this is what I get in return

You was like a brother to me

But now I is see you was just waitin' your turn

When I was out at work, y'all was doin' dirt

Stealin' my heart away

Shared everything with you, all I was goin' through

Now dark skies and tearful eyes are here to stay

It's not fair, I was true to you

I finally settle down

You don't turn around

And betray the trust I had in you

It's not fair, after all I treated you

Respectable, with care

Said that you'd be there

Now, who am I to turn to

It's not fair, after all I sacrificed

For my seed said, you'd give life

With everything I am

Wanted for you to be happy

And now slowly the life of love

You breathed into my heart

Is slipping away, dying today

If only

Never thought I'd live to see

Disrespected me

How could it be

Let away so easily, yeah

I was true to you

I finally settle down

You don't turn around

And betray the trust I had in you

It's not fair, after all I treated you

Respectable, with care

Said that you'd be there

Now, who am I to turn to

It's not fair, I was true to you

It's not fair, after all I treated you

Respectable, with care

Said that you'd be there

Now, who am I to turn to

It's not fair, it's not fair
