Betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed
By the ones that I love the most
By the ones that I hold close
Said they'd never leave me
They'd watch out for my health
Did they think I could handle
This world by myself?
I was betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed
I was taken advantage of
By the ones that I hold above everyone else
But I guess I was wrong
To imagine that I could ever belong anywhere
That I could trust anybody to care
And lead me through the dark
Betrayed
By the ones that I love
I was betrayed and deserted
Should I give up
And decide that I've had enough
Should I turn off my heart
So I can forget about them
So I can make sure
I won't talk to them again
And never share what I would feel
If somebody was there
