Don Gibson - I'm Sorry for You, My Friend lyrics

You'd known so long that you were wrong but still you have your way You told her lies and alibies and hurt her more each day But now your conscience bothers you you've reached your journey's end You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend You laughed inside each time she cried you tried to make her blue She tugged along through right or wrong because she worshipped you You know that you're the one to blame there's no use to pretend Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you my friend Today as she walked arm in arm at someone else's side It made you stop and realize that time has turned to tide You should've known you'd be alone cause cheaters never win You tried and lost now pay the cost I'm sorry for you my friend
