Backstabbers Need Not Apply
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.
Did you really think that I was born yesterday'
Like I would never find the reasons why you fled the scene and left me
Well I hope you choke on every word that you say
Cause your reasons don't just make all these problems go away
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, Everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
Now that you've lied to everyone else here but me
I had started to feel like I've been missing out on something
I hope you choke on every word you say
Cause your reason don't make
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
With friends like you, who needs an enemy
With friends like you, who needs an enemy
You let me bleed, it's unforgivable
What you've done to me
You gone and changed it all
You're not the man you used to be
It's not that I don't get it, believe me I do
I've had to walk more than a mile in your shoes
These thoughts they tear a hole in my chest
A decade wasted cause of your selfishness
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You're gonna get what you deserve
When you turn on your friends
You lose more than you planned
Everybody knows, everyone knows
You had a future but it slipped through your hands
Your first shot's becoming your last
Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve
Your time will come, you'll get what you deserve
