I gave my heart to the love of my life
We secretly met in the darkness of night
How could I know that a meeting so sweet
would lead to this feeling of being deceived

The story is always the same
He gets forgiveness and I get the blame
She gets the pity and I get the shame
They get each other with my reputation laid to waste

They´ll never know I´m the innocent one
Let them believe I´m the one who was wrong
I know the truth let them live in their lie
I can walk proud while the gossips all smile

The story is always the same
He gets forgiveness and I get the blame
She gets the pity and I get the shame
They get each other with my reputation laid to waste

I get the blame  – laid to waste
Laid to waste

Who needs pity in this crazy game
I never asked for this kind of fame
She´s got the pity and she´s got the man
While all eyes keep seeing just a fragment of who I am

The story is always the same
He gets forgiveness and I get the blame
She gets the pity and I get the shame
They get each other with my reputation laid to waste

I get the blame
I get the shame
They get each other with my reputation laid to waste

Laid to waste

Same, same always the same
Shame, shame I get the blame
