Analysis of Cheater Cheater
She's just a "used to be"
We still talk every now and again
She used to stir something up in me
Like the dust twisting in the wind
The love between us died down
A long time ago
She moved to a new town
Who was I to ask her not to go
It's funny how the table turned
At first, we could not give up
That was before she got burned
We were so in love
