Downfall

 
A simple lie is all it took
I never gave a second look
The shit you used to bait your hook
I should have closed that goddamned book

 
Win or lose it doesn't matter at all
Trusting you was my biggest downfall (chorus)
 

I should have seen it in your eyes
It should have come as no surprise
The way your mouth spewed out those lies
The way your words cut me like knives

 
Win or lose it doesn't matter at all
Trusting you was my biggest downfall
No one seems to give a shit after all
Knowing you was my biggest downfall

 
And where did that get you now my friend?
Cast out and back out in the rain again

 
Win or lose it never mattered at all
Trusting you was my biggest downfall
No one ever gave a shit after all
Knowing you was my biggest downfall
