Betrayal, Heartache and Silent, Wasted Tears

There is no point in naming those in blame,
Even though your heart may be in pain.
But do not let them think they have won,
Though the damage is already done.
Stand up to them, no time to slack,
And watch out for the two-faced ones hiding behind your back.

As the line between friend and foe becomes thinner,
Who can you trust?
To know the difference you must.
Watch out for their deceiving crust.
As their disguise will soon rust.

Hurtful lies seep through the cracks,
A poker face your foe lacks.
As slowly you uncover the truth to their lies,
You think to yourself, why oh why?

These silent tears, wasted tears,
Betrayal comes and heartache follows.
Hidden truths fueling sorrows.

Broken promises,
Stolen secrets,
And shattered hearts.
Turning friends into foes playing fasle parts.

Everybody knows friends come and go,
But when betrayal strikes you will know.
As your heart is the first to cop the blow,
You must be ready.
Gossip spreads fast,
Hold your head up a bit higher, because it does not last.

These silent tears, wasted tears,
Betrayal comes and heartache follows.
Stolen secrets fueling sorrows.
Always remember to watch out for their deceiving crust,
their lies and unforgiving cruel lust.
Their disguises have finally begun to rust.
