Betrayer, or betrayed?
A hunch, a hunch,
Of lies.
A call, a call,
To find out the truth.
Who to trust?
Surely not you.
After all,
You've lied to me
Before.
But only because
You felt you had to.
I know you felt alone.
I know you feel that way
Now.
But I won't let you
Drag a loved one
Down with you.
If it was me,
I wouldn't question-
But I won't let you
Take him with you.
He is innocent,
A sweet soul,
Trying to help another
In need.
But are you in need?
Therein lies the question.
Truth?
Or lies?
Pain?
Or fabrication?
Betrayed?
Or betrayer?
I trust you with my life.
But do I trust you with your own?
If I am wrong,
I am the betrayer,
For having doubted you
At all.
But if I am right...
If I am right,
I am the
Betrayed.
Of lies.
A call, a call,
To find out the truth.
Who to trust?
Surely not you.
After all,
You've lied to me
Before.
But only because
You felt you had to.
I know you felt alone.
I know you feel that way
Now.
But I won't let you
Drag a loved one
Down with you.
If it was me,
I wouldn't question-
But I won't let you
Take him with you.
He is innocent,
A sweet soul,
Trying to help another
In need.
But are you in need?
Therein lies the question.
Truth?
Or lies?
Pain?
Or fabrication?
Betrayed?
Or betrayer?
I trust you with my life.
But do I trust you with your own?
If I am wrong,
I am the betrayer,
For having doubted you
At all.
But if I am right...
If I am right,
I am the
Betrayed.
