about
Cheating Myself is a nod to vintage country-western music from female singers like Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, and Loretta Lynn who sang of heartache and women's empowerment. It's a modern self-love story about embracing independence and letting go of toxic relationships.
lyrics
CHEATING MYSELF
Was I just foolin' myself
to think you were a once in a lifetime
as I was holdin' on to you
instead of someone new
Well, I was ashamed to admit,
that you were just taking advantage
and then just makin' all the rules up
just for you
But I was just cheating myself
out of a one and only true love
by just taking what you'd give
when it was never enough
Well, I'm cheating myself
thinking you'll ever change
and love me like I loved you
Oh, I'm cheating myself
thinking you'll even tell me the truth
No, not you...
Yeah, well, I'm cheating myself
thinking you'll ever change
and love me like I loved you
Oh, I'm cheating myself
thinking you'll even tell me the truth
No, not you...
Well, I know I can make it without you
Oh, I've already suffered enough
You're lying and stealing
and screaming at me
'cause you're drugged up and drunk
Yeah, I'm sure I can make it without you
and as long as I have faith it might help
then I'll never be, never, ever, ever be
cheating myself....
