The Worst Betrayal

(アルバム： Tempting Fate - 2023)

Shaky hands, heavy heart
One breath away from falling apart
It's my best-kept secret

Built a house made of glass
Won't let you close enough to see the cracks
'Cause I can't show weakness

If deception is an art form
You're looking at a fucking connoisseur

Nobody talks a bigger game than me
Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly
But you knew exactly what would hurt the most
And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is
You standing there acting all innocent
Like your good intentions were just misguided
Well I don't buy it

Endless days, sleepless nights
A false bravado to hide behind
But you saw right through it

And every instinct
Told me to run
From the force that
We could become
But you made me
Believe it was worth the jump

Nobody talks a bigger game than me
Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly
But you knew exactly what would hurt the most
And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is
You standing there acting all innocent
Like your good intentions were just misguided
Well I don't buy it

If chaos is a crusade
You're looking at a fucking renegade

Nobody talks a bigger game than me
Spins their half-truths quite as convincingly
But you knew exactly what would hurt the most
And you dealt me the final blow

I have to say the worst betrayal is
You standing there acting all innocent
Like your good intentions were just misguided
Well I don't buy it

But when all is said and done
You're still the one I want
