Torn Apart
2023©JohnSchofield

He set out on a thorny path
With a reckless love affair
The tangled web of lies he built
A burden hard to bear

He paid a price in shame and guilt
For nights of stolen pleasure
Trapped in a maze he built himself
He took a drastic measure

Chorus:
Broken promises, shattered trust
Loveless passion, brazen lust
Tempted by an ink black heart
He watched his family torn apart

Bridge:
Adultery wears a heavy crown
The weight of guilt had dragged him down
I’m sorry, forgive me, too hard to say
And so, he took the cowards way

Chorus:
Broken promises, shattered trust
Loveless passion, brazen lust
Tempted by an ink black heart
He watched his family torn apart
