Here we go again, I started to let you love me
Just to be punched in the heart when you shoved me
Keep pushing, keep pushing baby, and maybe you'll be alright
I'm much to minimalistic these days for much of a fight

[Chorus:]
I'm tied down to the memory of the words you said
How you'd never slip away got lost in my head
You said you were real, an honest and true friend
Now you're the last person I would try to defend
Can't believe myself that I trusted your lies
You got away with the betrayal of the wise

I could tune you out but you'd only creep back in
Shamelessly loving yourself, you're Satan's twin
Keep running, keep running baby and you won't lose the game
Go out of this country and change your home, face, and name

I'm tied down to the memory of the words you said
How you'd never slip away got lost in my head
You said you were real, an honest and true friend
Now you're the last person I would try to defend
Can't believe myself that I trusted your lies
You got away with the betrayal of the wise

Like a thief in the night, I caught you redhanded
I'm not a comprehending soul, I don't understand it
How could you love someone with a knife in their palm?
Life tells you to be still and breathe and be calm
But then the whole world comes to a screeching halt

I'm tied down to the memory of the words you said
How you'd never slip away got lost in my head
You said you were real, an honest and true friend
Now you're the last person I would try to defend
Can't believe myself that I trusted your lies
You got away with the betrayal of the wise

You got away with the betrayal of the formerly wise
