Backstabber's Game

Whispers in the shadows, they're calling my name,

Smile like a serpent, but it's all just a game.

You came with sweetness, wrapped in a bow,

Promised me secrets, now I reap what you sow.

Fingers crossed behind you, eyes in the deceit,

You played me like a fool thinking I wouldn’t see.

But I won’t be your victim, I won’t wear your scars,

The truth is coming out, underneath the stars.

You carved your own dagger, dressed it in disguise,

But you can’t hide the truth, it burns like fire in your eyes.

Backstabber, oh what a tangled web you weave,

Every smile, every lie, how could I believe?

Heartbreaker, don’t you know I see right through,

Every twist and turn, it all comes back to you.

You danced with illusions, painted a sweet lie,

While I stood in the spotlight, blind and awry.

I wore your chains proudly, thought you were my friend,

Now I’m cutting the ties, it’s just where this ends.

But I won’t be your victim, I won’t wear your scars,

The truth is coming out, underneath the stars.

You carved your own dagger, dressed it in disguise,

But you can’t hide the truth, it burns like fire in your eyes.

Backstabber, oh what a tangled web you weave,

Every smile, every lie, how could I believe?

Heartbreaker, don’t you know I see right through,

Every twist and turn, it all comes back to you.

Now I’m rising up, like a phoenix from the ash,

No longer held captive by your venomous grasp.

Got strength in my scars, I’m reclaiming my heart,

With every step I take, it’s a brand-new start.

Backstabber, oh what a tangled web you weave,

Every smile, every lie, how could I believe?

Heartbreaker, don’t you know I see right through,

Every twist and turn, it all comes back to you.

So wear your mask, darling, I see the cracks come through,

A backstabber’s shadow won’t follow me—it's true.
