BETRAYAL

BETRAYAL

You set a fire and quench it when it's going wild
You watered my flower and pluck it when it's not fully grown
You set my train to rail off in a blocked railway
You showed me how to drink from the pot and then took it away

I was relaxed when you said will live forever together
My heart stood to its peak of joy when it found a mate
You woke me up while I was dreaming the life you gave me
You took me to war and handed me over to death

The ocean was too deep, yet you took me there to drown
The journey was too long, yet you wooed me to start
The belief was not true, yet you made me to believe
You told me about a garden, then took me to a forest

You gave me a sheep that bit me over night
You fed me with a delicious food that turns to poison
You gave me a life that caused my death
You gave me a game that turned me a loser

It pains me to have called you my heart desire
I regret to have ever believed your tricks
My heart was a fool to have found a mate in you
It's a painful history of how you fooled me

You made me hate what I used to love
I run far away from what I used to crave
Because I was stabbed by what used to be love
It was a betrayal, that's what I called it.
