Lyrics

[00:47.40] In order to be loved respect is needed
[00:52.17] To give yourself completely
[00:56.77] To another person knowing they can pick you apart
[01:01.99] Knowing that by a flick of their wrist they can break your heart
[01:06.50] Once broken it can never again be completed and
[01:11.22] What can take you years to build can be torn apart in a second of guilt
[01:16.08] It takes a lifetime to create, but love can be replaced with purebred hate
[01:21.15] In the blink of an eye you'll be branded and both will end up shorthanded
[01:25.68]
[01:27.74] Betray everything you've ever known
[01:30.53] You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late
[01:35.92] Betray everything you've ever known
[01:40.03] You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late
[01:45.45] A passion so strong it can turn doubt into stone
[01:49.32] You find once in a lifetime if you overcome
[01:54.51] The difficulties to give everything you have in order to live
[01:59.13] With a person who has the power to rule
[02:01.67] Your insides in whichever way he chooses
[02:03.84] You'll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart
[02:23.68]
[03:54.64] Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win can you feel the difference?
[04:04.43] You'll betray everything you've ever known
[04:08.85] You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late
[04:14.35] Betray everything you've ever known
[04:18.41] You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late
[04:23.76] Now you have to choose, take the risk or you loose
[04:27.50] The latter will leave you shorthanded
[04:30.82]
[04:33.21] And to take the risk can crush your bones
[04:37.87] Decisions cracking in the back of your mind, making you wanting to die
[04:45.25] You'll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart
[04:59.28]
[05:27.47] Corrupting the mind of another with false promises
[05:31.76] Not realizing you smother everything it was meant to be
[05:35.71] When your greatest fear is to end up shorthanded
[05:41.20] Be careful where your seed is planted
[05:46.26] You'll betray!
