So Fine Summertime by Ian Roberts

Sometimes you deceive the one you love so badly, that the knowledge of the pain your deception has caused them, and your betrayal of their Trust, never leaves you.  

It's only when you accept the full error of your actions, and publicly admit your guilt, can you ever seek to ask or receive forgiveness.  

 "I've played my part in Love's Deceit - and I'm not proud of it"

full lyrics below

I've played my part in Love's Deceit
and I'm not proud of it
some nights I find that I cry in my sleep
guess I'll never get used to it.

It haunts my nights and steals my days
and I'm tired of it
those words she said just go round and round

Don't Lie to Me
Don't Lie to Me
Don't Lie to Me

I remember her saying

I don't need to know which way we're going
we're already too far gone
this crazy love that you're showing me
I just know it can't  be wrong
But don't lie to me, don't lie to me
I will see it in your eyes

I've played my part in Love's Deceit
and I'm not proud of it.

Love's Deceit

The Straight and Narrow, Vol. 1

Painted On The Wall

Another day, another year
Another chance to disappear
Don’t worry, babe, I’m not going anywhere...

Another laugh, another fight
Another chance to make it right
But only playing fair - and staying there...

Every now and then I sigh...

But when I wake up, and she’s next to me
I know we’ve made up
I stop and count to three
And then I find...
I’m the luckiest man alive...

I married young, I married up
I’m drinking from a broken cup
Sometimes things need repair...

We’ve had it good, we’ve had it rough
I didn’t know we could be so tough
Or how we really cared - I’ll leave it there...

Every now and then I sigh
Well come on, boy, time’s wasting all the while…

Now it’s dawning, the day’s ahead
The kids are yawning, then jumping on the bed
I’ve made my mind-
I’m the happiest man alive...

I’ve been waiting, very patient, 
The sensation is so new to me
Bottled up on the inside, it’s come alive, how can it be?

Things get better, then get worse
I think I meant that in reverse
Perspective takes a climb...

It’s push and pull and give and take
Hearts are strong, but hearts can break
With so much on the line...

Life goes slow and then it’s fast
All at once it’s in the past
But that’s what makes it fun...

And you’re free, and free to choose
What to keep and what to lose
Too much freedom isn’t really good
For anyone...

Every now and then I sigh
But hang on, girl, nothing’s wrong, or signified…  

But in the morning, in a different light
It’s so rewarding remembering the night
I think it’s time
To see me smile and smile and smile and smile…

I’m the happiest man alive...
