I Knew I Couldn't Trust You

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 friends



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 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 will 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 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

Do you love to play this way?

I’ll cross your face



Hold in the pain

We're better off this way

We don't explain

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 friends



I 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
