Life's a cheater it could play you well
Make you believe in stories to tell
You might think you know the rules know the game
But in the end it's all just a name
Cheated by life robbed of time
Lessons learned but they don't seem to rhyme
You thought you knew but you were blind
Now you're left with these thoughts in your mind
People politics business and beliefs
They all seem clear but bring hidden grief
Family ties and the value of money
What once held dear now feels kinda funny
Cheated by life robbed of time
Lessons learned but they don't seem to rhyme
You thought you knew but you were blind
Now you're left with these thoughts in your mind
Wish you'd known the truth back then
Would've saved yourself from all this spin
But maybe it's the journey that makes us wise
Even when feeling cheated we still rise
Cheated by life robbed of time
Lessons learned but they don't seem to rhyme
You thought you knew but you were blind
Now you're left with these thoughts in your mind
But don't let it break you don't let it win
Keep on pushing let the lessons sink in
Life may be a cheater but you're still here
Wiser now facing every fear
