Cheaters Can't Win: A Melodic Tale of Consequence and Regret
Lyrics
It's a sin and oh, what a shame,
Engaging in cheating is considered morally wrong ("sin") and regrettable ("shame").
You can't play by the rules of the game.
One cannot succeed if they do not adhere to the established rules of the game.
And you know when you begin,
When the act of cheating commences.
Cheaters can't win.
The central message: cheaters ultimately do not achieve victory.
It's a sin and oh, what a shame
Reiteration of the idea that cheating is morally reprehensible and a cause for shame.
You haven't the faith it takes to change
Failure is attributed to a lack of faith or belief in the ability to change for the better.
And you know when you begin
Reiteration of the starting point of cheating, emphasizing the inevitability of failure.
Cheaters can't win
Restating the theme that cheaters are destined to lose in the end.
Yes, I know that you've gone away
Acknowledgment of the partner's departure, implying a sense of loss or separation.
Every dream is yesterday
The passing of time, with each moment feeling like a memory of the past ("yesterday").
And you know, deep in your heart
Recognition that, deep down, the cheater understands the wrongdoing in their heart.
I didn't want us to end up this way
Expressing regret for the undesired outcome of the relationship.
It's a sin and oh, what a shame
Reiteration of the moral transgression of cheating and the accompanying shame.
You can't live by the rules of the game
Emphasizing the impossibility of success if one does not adhere to the rules of life ("game").
And you know when you begin
Repeating the point where cheating begins and the inevitable failure that follows.
Cheaters can't win
Reiterating the overarching theme that cheaters cannot achieve victory.
Cheaters can't win
Concluding statement reinforcing the idea that those who cheat will not emerge as winners.
