Coming Clean

Tell me the truth
Why you hated me in my youth
Don't you dare lie
Why did you leave me here to die
What have I done
That's made you turn and run
Why have you let me down
Take me down to the river and let me drown
The one time I put my trust in you
You launch  your traitorous coup
So if you have the guts do it now
If you have the guts strike me down
