Tell
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.
Betrayal is always sad
Needless to say what you could have had
Of course you have it still
But based on a lie that you always will
Repeat till it clings true
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you
On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?
Will you keep this up,
As long as you can if I don't make it stop?
I don't have a clue
Of what you are about to do
Would you fool me too?
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you
On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?
I'm trying to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?
