(wang chung / peter wolf) |
|
We met as friends of friends while still at school |
|
I was all you ever really knew |
|
When we met it was like a dream |
|
For all i knew we could not fail |
|
But now i know of your betrayal |
|
Living in the older part of town |
|
I worked all hours i could to bring us 'round |
|
Your career was alive for you |
|
But deep inside i watched it fail |
|
And now i know of your betrayal |
|
Your betrayal |
|
If only i could hold you close |
|
But now i know how love grows frail |
|
When i asked if you'd leave me |
|
Or 'bout the boyfriends you'd had |
|
You said you'd stay with me always |
|
And that you'd never be bad |
|
But i would notice a smile |
|
That you would hold within |
|
As if your vanity flirted |
|
With your knowledge of sin |
|
Now you're quiet and cold |
|
Your eyes just stare into space |
|
And if i ask you to talk |
|
You just dissemble your face |
|
And the smile that i hated |
|
Is now a frown of denial |
|
And that's how i know of your unspoken betrayal |
|
Oh, that's how i know of your unspoken betrayal |
|
Now i wish that i'd set you free |
|
But i was terrified that i would fail |
|
And now i know of your betrayal |
|
Your betrayal |
|
If only i could hold you close |
|
But now i know how love grows frail |
|
Oh now i know of your betrayal |
|
Now i know of your betrayal |
