I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids.
|
You sold me out; you ran and hid
|
from all your problems. Can't even face your friends,
|
your best friend.
|
|
You're holding something in tonight
|
and I can tell you're not alright.
|
Your poker face concealing
|
All the cards that you're not dealing.
|
Cross your arms, avert your eyes;
|
you're like a child ashamed to cry.
|
The words inside your head,
|
when I find out you'll wish you said:
|
|
"I've let you down
|
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
|
there is no forgiving it.
|
I promised you I'd
|
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
|
It's the worst thing I could do."
|
|
You're gonna bet it all on black
|
and when it's gone you'll want it back.
|
'Cause truth don't mix with reason
|
and cheating's the ultimate treason.
|
And I could see through you like glass,
|
slither around below the grass
|
Garden of Eden burning,
|
forbidden fruit you won't discern it.
|
|
I've let you down
|
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
|
there is no forgiving it.
|
I promised you I'd
|
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
|
It's the worst thing I could do.
|
|
My loss, your gain,
|
it didn't have to be this way.
|
Across your face,
|
it's so legible.
|
|
Hold in the pain,
|
were better off this way.
|
We don't abstain,
|
we're better off this way.
|
Friends are in vain;
|
we're better off this way.
|
Better off this way.
|
|
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids.
|
You sold me out; you ran and hid
|
from all your problems. Can't even face your friends,
|
your best friend.
|
|
I've let you down
|
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
|
there is no forgiving it.
|
I promised you I'd
|
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
|
It's the worst thing I could do.
