Betrayed

You said you’d always care

Always love to be here

Now you broke my halo

I’m fighting to let go

I’m struggling to breathe

‘Cause daddy tried to suffocate me

In his picture perfect way

Making all the wrong okay

Blame it on the child

Settle your soul

For a minute calm down

The demons in your eyes

The lovers of lies

Calm down the demons

They’re burning in your eyes

Louder the broken one tries

Solitude comforts me in the way

I could never seem to find in people

Who call themselves friends

Words mean nothing

Don’t explain your petty excuses

On why you betrayed me

I don’t want to fall under the haze

‘Cause it’s all fucked up anyways

Betrayed

Leave me in rivers again

Floating in pain
