[Verse 1]
Walking in the darkness, pain in his feet
Trying to catch his breath next to a lamp on the street
Corner, like a boxer near defeat, in the cold summer night
He could hear his heart beat, beat, beat…
His eyes are wide open, because every time they close
All he ever seems to see is her laying with no cloths
On, to the next street corner like a bus stop
Looking up at signs in the street as the wind rose
Finally finds the bus circuit that brings him home
He steps onto the bus as he reaches for some cash
Pulls out some dollar bills as he watches something fall
To the floor of the bus, it came from his pocket
A picture of his son, at the park, playing ball…

[Hook]
Why have I done this terrible lie?
Destroyed my family’s trust
Traded love for lust
Why have I chosen this particular night
To go and fuck it all up
Now watch my life turn to dust

[Verse 2]
On the bus ride home, he could feel his heart sink
To the bottom of his seat, you could almost see him shrink
Regret, degraded, tears, hatred
All he felt was pain, he couldn’t even think
He went out with some work friends, expecting just a drink
But then she walked over dressed in all pink
Talk went to flirt, looks went to a wink
The alcohol took over as he went and grabbed her mink
They were naked in her sheets, he didn’t even blink
Their bodies intertwined, perfectly in sync
He was never in control, his mind just drew a blank
As he walked out the door, he couldn’t chase the stink
The smell of betrayal was pouring through his skin
The line between sane and insane was now thin
As he looked up at the sky, he could now taste sin
[Hook]
Why have I done this terrible lie?
Destroyed my family’s trust
Traded love for lust
Why have I chosen this particular night
To go and fuck it all up
Now watch my life turn to dust

[Verse 3]
As he looked down at his watch, it read 3 o clock
He tried to move forward, but he couldn’t even walk
He stared out to his house, his home, his castle
He had tasted the forbidden, he bit into the apple
As he walked into the house, he couldn’t hear a sound
In the entrance, darkness is all that could be found
The stairs slowly creaked as he started his ascension
He walked past his sons room, his breath in suspension
The room was empty, he must still be at Luke’s house
He started towards his chambers, looking for his spouse
On his way to his bed, he stopped at the bathroom
He took off his jacket, he could still smell her perfume
Glanced over to the mirror, all he felt was shame
He knew that from now on, it would never be the same
He entered his room, what he saw left him in awe
A stranger in his bed, the sweet taste of Karma
[Hook]
Why have I done this terrible lie?
Destroyed my family’s trust
Traded love for lust
Why have I chosen this particular night
To go and fuck it all up
Now watch my life turn to dust
Now watch my life turn to dust
Now watch my life turn to dust...
