[Verse 1]
I let you in my circle
You wore a different face
Shared my food, my secrets
Then moved in with the snakes
You laughed at all my wins
Then fed them to the room
Kept smiling at my table
While plotting in the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clear
You never came to stay
You was only passing through
To take and slip away
[Chorus]
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
Snakes behind my back
You left that poison track
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
I cut the line, I cut it fast
No more turning back
[Verse 2]
You knew where the soft spots were
You aimed right at the seam
Turned every small detail
Into a loaded scheme
I heard my name in pieces
From mouths I used to trust
Now every fake forever
Turns sharp and turns to rust
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I keep my guard up
I read the room at once
If the grin don’t match the eyes
I’m gone before it starts
[Chorus]
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
Snakes behind my back
You left that poison track
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
I cut the line, I cut it fast
No more turning back
[Bridge]
I don’t need your sorry
I don’t need your call
You can keep that venom
I won’t take it home at all
[Final Chorus]
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
Snakes behind my back
You left that poison track
Snakes behind my back
(behind my back)
I cut the line, I cut it fast
No more turning back
