[Verse 1]
Why did you loyal test on me, Zuri?
I trusted you, I called you my best friend surely
You asked me if I had trust issues, yeah, I do
But I hide it inside, didn’t wanna put the weight on you
Maya left me, I was already torn apart
You knew the pain I carried deep in my heart
I was loyal to you, gave you all that I had
And now you turn your back, make me feel so bad
[Pre-Chorus]
You told me “stop overthinking” but look where it led
I kept my secrets with you, now they feel like regret
Was I the problem? Or was I the fool?
For believing forever, when you broke all the rules
[Chorus]
Zuri, why’d you betray me, thought you were my friend
I never thought our story would come to this end
I gave you my trust when I had none left
Now I’m standing alone with this pain in my chest
Yeah, you played me, you faked it, you tore me apart
Now I know why I guard my heart
[Verse 2]
High school scars still bleeding inside
Ex-girlfriend cheated, I was broken that night
Told you my secret, thought you’d understand
But you turned around and left me with empty hands
I thought we’d be forever, best friends till the end
Now I see the truth, you were never a friend
You said you never wanted to see me again
Guess I was blind, yeah, I trusted pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be there, I tried to be real
But you made me question everything I feel
I thought maybe you’d help me heal this pain
But you left me out in the pouring rain
[Chorus]
Zuri, why’d you betray me, thought you were my friend
I never thought our story would come to this end
I gave you my trust when I had none left
Now I’m standing alone with this pain in my chest
Yeah, you played me, you faked it, you tore me apart
Now I know why I guard my heart
[Bridge]
You said “don’t overthink it” but the signs were all there
I was loyal, I was broken, I thought you’d care
You knew my history, you knew my pain
Yet you chose to bring me heartbreak again
[Chorus – Final]
Zuri, why’d you betray me, thought you were my friend
I never thought our story would come to this end
I gave you my trust when I had none left
Now I’m standing alone with this pain in my chest
Yeah, you played me, you faked it, you tore me apart
Now I know why I guard my heart
[Outro]
Guess you were fake all along, I just couldn’t see
Thought you’d be the one to set me free
But you showed me the truth, now I finally know
Not everyone you love is gonna help you grow
