A Pair of Old Sneakers
Walking the Cheating Line: A Pair's Struggle
Lyrics
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We represent a long-lasting relationship, symbolized by "old sneakers."
Stringin' each other along
We deceive each other, keeping the relationship going without genuine commitment.
Sometimes i feel just like a heel
At times, one feels guilty or regretful for being insincere in the relationship.
'cause i know in my soul, that it's wrong
The speaker acknowledges the moral wrongdoing but continues the deception.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We continue the facade, treating each other poorly.
Kickin' each other around
We mistreat each other regularly, creating a pattern of discord.
Eight times a week, we play 'hide an' cheat'
We engage in deceit frequently, making the relationship tiresome.
'Til we've run that game in the ground
We exhaust the dishonest game until it becomes monotonous.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We acknowledge the immorality of cheating in our relationship.
We know that cheatin' is wrong
Despite knowing it's wrong, we continue the dishonesty.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We describe ourselves as a worn-out and concealed relationship.
And we've been in the closet too long
We've hidden our relationship for too long, possibly due to societal judgment.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
Our relationship is worn out and facing challenges.
Worn out an' comin' unglued
We're falling apart, both emotionally and physically.
Both wearin' rings, feelin' ashamed
Both partners feel ashamed for wearing commitment rings while being unfaithful.
Tryin' to run from the truth
We try to avoid facing the truth about our failing relationship.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
Despite the challenges, we believe nothing can separate us.
And nothin' can tear us apart
We live a lie, attempting to continue the relationship against the odds.
Living the lie and lord knows we've tried
We've tried to avoid hurting each other but continue to do so.
To stop walking on each other's heart
We struggle to stop causing emotional pain to each other.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We reiterate the knowledge that cheating is morally wrong.
We know that cheatin' is wrong
We persist in the relationship despite the acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
Our relationship is worn and tired, concealed from the world.
And we've been in the closet too long
We admit to hiding our relationship for too long.
We're just a pair of old sneakers
We reiterate that our relationship has been hidden for an extended period.
And we've been in the closet too long
We emphasize the prolonged concealment of our troubled relationship.
