Traitor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not a criminal
I'm not the villain
Yeah this is personal
A drive-by killing
Your guns are loaded
And your lies are the bullets
So here is the trigger
So go ahead and pull it now
Are you sure you want to play this game?
Are you sure you want to play it?
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
With a knife in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War
You were just like the brothers
And we had each other
We were down for the good times
We were live for the troubles
Like a thief in the night
Broad daylight
You stole my sanity
You are the enemy
Are you sure you want to play this game?
Are you sure you want to play it?
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor...
With a knife right in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War
Oh, oh
I should feel sorry for you
Watching your trial in your denial
But I can't feel sorry for you
Watching you drown 'cause you're a traitor
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
With a knife in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor
A traitor
A traitor
With a knife in my back
Killed any history we had
And now it's war
War
