Lyrics
You turned your back Left me in the dark Promised forever But you lit the spark I gave you my heart Every beat and sigh You held it close Then waved it goodbye Shadows creeping Where your smile used to be Now I'm drowning deep In this lonely sea Yeah Yeah Betrayal's blade Cut sharper than steel You stole my trust Made the wound never heal Oh, the pain runs cold Through my weary soul Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Now I'm paying the toll Oh, the pain runs cold Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love Betrayed by your love
