[Verse 1]
First split, you slammed the door
I stood there, wanting more
Second time, I came back soft
You said my love was off
I brought you soup, I brought you roses
You threw my words in broken poses
I tried to stay, I tried to fight
But every kiss turned into night
[Pre-Chorus]
Then your phone lit up blue
A friend said, “He was with you”
Your jaw got hard, your eyes got cold
You said, “Boy, I know your soul”
[Chorus]
You called me a cheater
Called me out loud
You called me a cheater
In front of the crowd
I loved you harder
You loved the doubt
You called me a cheater
And shut me out
[Verse 2]
Third break, it came like a crash
That friend’s voice made you flash
You said, “I saw the way you smiled”
Like that could mean I’d lied
I reached for you, “Baby, wait”
You said, “Save it, it’s too late”
I held your hands, I held my ground
You spun and tore my heart right down
[Pre-Chorus]
Then your phone lit up blue
A friend said, “He was with you”
Your voice got sharp, your heart went stone
You turned my name to broken bones
[Chorus]
You called me a cheater
Called me out loud
You called me a cheater
In front of the crowd
I loved you harder
You loved the doubt
You called me a cheater
And shut me out
[Bridge]
I wasn’t perfect, I was real
Still trying to keep us healed
You wanted proof, I wanted peace
You wanted war, I wanted me
If love’s a house, we burned the frame
Then blamed the smoke, then cursed the flame
I came with open hands to give
You came to break the thing we lived
[Chorus]
You called me a cheater
Called me out loud
You called me a cheater
In front of the crowd
I loved you harder
You loved the doubt
You called me a cheater
And shut me out
