The Cheat Lyrics

It's almost a shock
This lint I keep dusting off
Why am I here?
Am I being covered up?
And after being ripped out from what little wall space I found
Small charm that I was for her
I suppose I had to wear off
See our errands slide and through traffic crawl
They're hers more than mine
If they are ever mine at all
But there's nothing I wouldn't do
No trouble ever too much
I'm as happy as a slave
As I can be in a bed apart
That's why I am here you understand
Hold me, disenchanted as I am
What loyalty won't give me
I'm going to take whatever there is in hell I can
Moralise
By all means philosophise
But if in turning out to be a lengthy term with her
Why say anything at all to her?
A small indiscretion
Is it a break in concentration?
I guess there's no nice way to need to say that it ever happened
I can be in this bed apart
Was never here you understand
Hold me, bastard that I am
What loyalty has got me
I'm going to get whatever there was in heaven she stopped giving me
Look where loyalty has got me
Why should any pretence of a kind be worth keeping?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
