Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, I don't expect for you to forgive me this
Siding with the soldiers who say "We cannot win the day"
[Verse 2]
A theatre of war, the frame
Inner conflicts now reign
Their intent, division till there is no side to take
[Verse 3]
You feel betrayed, I feel played
By our so called friends, not the friends we should have made
[Verse 4]
So, when the story ends and the stage goes dark
And we both can hear the writing on the wall
Then I beg the bard to write another scene
Because you're the one who told me to believe
[Verse 5]
There is something more that I need to say
I should have said it though, I should have said it though
Before yesterday, before your breakaway
[Verse 6]
This jungle is dark but full of diamonds
That can cut and exploit with just a whiff of blood
Faith in spades in us, so what were the odds?
Our hand of hearts would have to fold, to their flush of clubs
[Verse 7]
You've been betrayed, I've been played
At least they made me exit through the chopper on the stage
[Verse 8]
So, when the story ends and the stage goes dark
And we all can hear the writing on the wall
Then I beg the Bard to write another scene
Because he's the one who told me to believe
[Verse 9]
There is nothing more that I need to say
I should have said it though, I should have said it though
Before yesterday, before you breakaway
