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 a lie 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 And now I know how love grows frail When I asked if you'd leave me about the boyfriends you'd had You said you'd stay with me always and that you'd never be bad I would notice the smile that you would hold within As if humanity flirted with your knowledge or sin Now you're quiet and calm, your eyes just stare into space And if I ask you to talk you just assemble 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 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 And now I know how love grows frail Now I know of your betrayal Now I know of your betrayal Betrayal
