Betrayed

SO BETRAYED BY THE ONE YOU LOVE
YOU PRAY TO THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE

TO GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE THE ONE

SO HURT YOU FEEL DEEP DOWN INSIDE
THAT ALL YOU DO IS LAY DOWN AND CRY

"WHY ME" YOU TEND TO ASK YOURSELF
YOU TRUSTED THEM WITH ALL YOUR WEALTH

YOU HEART, YOUR SOUL, YOUR PEACE OF MIND
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE TRULY DEVINE

THE TRUTH DOES HURT BUT THAT'S OKAY
YOU'LL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY

It's better to have loved and lost than never love at all. The sweetest, the wildest foe is love. Ernilando
