I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids.
You sold me out; you ran and hid
from all your problems. Can't even face your friends,
your best friend.
You're holding something in tonight
and I can tell you're not alright.
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing.
Cross your arms, avert your eyes;
you're like a child ashamed to cry.
The words inside your head,
when I find out you'll wish you said:
"I've let you down
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
there is no forgiving it.
I promised you I'd
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
It's the worst thing I could do."
You're gonna bet it all on black
and when it's gone you'll want it back.
'Cause truth don't mix with reason
and cheating's the ultimate treason.
And I could see through you like glass,
slither around below the grass
Garden of Eden burning,
forbidden fruit you won't discern it.
I've let you down
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
there is no forgiving it.
I promised you I'd
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
It's the worst thing I could do.
My loss, your gain,
it didn't have to be this way.
Across your face,
it's so legible.
Hold in the pain,
were better off this way.
We don't abstain,
we're better off this way.
Friends are in vain;
we're better off this way.
Better off this way.
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids.
You sold me out; you ran and hid
from all your problems. Can't even face your friends,
your best friend.
I've let you down
so many times but I can't ever tell you this,
there is no forgiving it.
I promised you I'd
always be there but that couldn't be less true.
It's the worst thing I could do.
