Betrayed Lyrics - Reed Lou

Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you 

By the one who says she needs you - above all other men 

Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty 

Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed 

Justice taught her confidence, her mother was like steel 

Her cousins, they're all convicts 

She alone rose above that wheel 

But a motorcyclist, no matter how good 

Is slave to the oncoming truck 

And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck 

Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you 

By the one who says she needs you - above all other men 

Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty 

Her father did his duty and I lay down betrayed 

Three of us lie in his bed - night of infamy 

One of us lies on our back - her father's in her head 

And quick she turns and slaps my face 

And with her eyes open wide she screams 

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you 

But she's looking right by me 

Betrayed, by the one who says she loves you 

By the one who says she needs you - above all other men 

Betrayed, by her fragile, vicious beauty 

Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
