about

The debut single from Thoughts Betray. Enjoy!

"The hardest part of letting go is the uncertainty that follows. The fear that the moment when you let go of someone, you will hate yourself for giving up on that which you've sacrificed so much for. But the truth of the matter is that she no longer sees your pain. She only seeks what she can take from you, with little to offer in return. You'll risk everything, while she guards her heart, and reaps the benefits of your feelings. Don't let yourself keep making this mistake."

lyrics

Everybody knows you played him like a game,
then turned around and did the same to me.
I see the error of my ways and how I fell for you just like a pawn,
and met a cruel demise along the way. So I say

But still you said to me:
“I can’t live without you,”
As if I needed you in my life.

Cuz you only love me when you’re alone.
I won’t play the role in your grand production.
Now I’m begging you to move on with your life.

It may hurt to hear me say,
But I was blessed the day this finally died. And now I,
I hope this counter culture turns a deaf ear to your siren song,
the one you sang to me so long ago. Now I know.
(I’ve learned my lesson)

Cuz you only love me when you’re alone.
I won’t play the role in your grand production.
Now I’m begging you to move on with your life.

I’ve had enough!
I won’t look back on memories that I loathe to have.
(Memories of you and I)
Cuz in my eyes, you’re just a shadow of my past.
That’s all you’ll ever be.

When they say that “goodbye” is the end, I will humbly disagree.
Cuz when I walked away, you kept trying to stay.
This goodbye was just the start…

Cuz you only love me when you’re alone.
I won’t play the role in your grand production.
Now I’m begging you to move on with your life.

By my hand, this chapter will finally close.
