Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Betrayed
[Verse 2]
Feelings of rejection
No false hopes or misconception
Just a burnin' in my head and in my heart
Promises were made
Friendship lost along the way
A twisted path of lies, deception from the start
[Verse 3]
The future lay in your hands
With talk of stardom, all your plans
We had our dreams, high hopes, we trusted you
But the decision that you made
And the starring role you played
Quickly made us realize what we must do
[Verse 4]
And I gave my trust to you
(Got stabbed in the back and left for dead)
Why'd you do the things you do?
(With all the lies, deceit, wrong things got said)
Should've expected this form you
(I should have known better that to do what I did)
I was blind and you were shrewd
(You had me eating from your hand like a naive little kid)
Laid my guard down, wound up screwed
[Verse 5]
Betrayed
[Verse 6]
There comes a time in every life
When quickly we must learn from our mistakes
Now trusting no one, guard held high
Second-guesses all the chances that he takes
We all must learn to us the term, my friend
To those deserving of the phrase
Avoidin' the pain and all the rage
From knowin' that you've been betrayed
[Verse 7]
Never again will I trust you
(Left for dead, knife buried in the back)
Wish I would have knew
(Your sneakiness, plan of attack)
This is what you do
(Lie and cheat and all that crap)
No chance for number two
(With my guard held high and my wall built strong)
Next time around, I'll screw you
[Verse 8]
There comes a time in all our lives
And quickly we must learn from our mistakes
Not knowin' why we made them
Just the outcomes and the feelings they create
Whether it's sadness, loss of trust, death, pain, forgiveness
Love, joy, sex, happiness, or fate
It's one of these, the biggest one, that I really hate
It's the feeling I get when I trust so deep
And trust between friends has been broken
And you know you got played
It's that feeling and
[Verse 9]
You straight up been betrayed
Betrayed
Betrayed
Betrayed
Betrayed
[Verse 10]
Straight up been betrayed
Betrayed
There comes a time in every life
When quickly we must learn from our mistakes
Betrayed
Now trusting no one, guard held high
Second-guesses all the chances that he takes
[Verse 11]
Betrayed
