I Knew I Couldn't Trust You Songtext

von Silverstein

I knew I couldn’t trust you back when we were kids.
You sold me out; you ran and hid from all your problems.
Can’t even face your friend, your best friend.

You’re holding something in tonight and I can tell you’re not alright.
Your poker face concealing all the cards that you’re not dealing.
Cross your arms, avert your eyes; you’re like a child ashamed to cry.
The words inside your head, when I find out you’ll wish you said:

„I’ve let you down so many times but I can’t ever tell you this,
There is no forgiving it.
I promised you I’d always be there but that couldn’t be less true.
It’s the worst thing I could do.“

You’re gonna bet it all on black and when it’s gone you’ll want it back.
'Cause thrill don’t mix with reason and cheating’s the ultimate treason.
And I can see through you like glass, slither around below the glass.
Garden of Eden burning, forbidden fruit you won’t discern it.

„I’ve let you down so many times but I can’t ever tell you this,
There is no forgiving it.
I promised you I’d always be there but that couldn’t be less true.
It’s the worst thing I could do.“

My loss, your again, it didn’t have to be this way.
Across your face, it’s so legible.

Hold in the pain, we’re better off this way.
We don’t abstain; we’re better off this way.
Friends are in vain; we’re better off this way.

I knew I couldn’t trust you back when we were kids.
You sold me out; you ran and hid from all your problems.
Can’t even face your friend, your best friend.

„I’ve let you down so many times but I can’t ever tell you this,
There is no forgiving it.
I promised you I’d always be there but that couldn’t be less true.
It’s the worst thing I could do.“
