[Refrain]
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend

[Verse 1]
You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not alright
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing
Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to cry
The words inside your head
When I find out you'll wish you said

[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it

I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true)
It's the worst thing I could do
[Verse 2]
You're going to bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
Because truth don't mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason
And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the grass
Garden of Eden burning
Forbidden fruit, you won't discern it

[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it (No forgiving it!)

I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true)
It's the worst thing I could do

[Breakdown]
My loss, your gain
It didn't have to be this way
Across your face
It's so legible
[Bridge]
Hold in the pain (Hold in the pain)
We're better off this way (We're better off this way)
We don't abstain (We don't abstain)
We're better off this way (We're better off this way)
Friends are in vain
We're better off this way
Better off this way!

[Refrain]
I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friend
Your best friend

[Chorus]
I've let you down
So many times but I can't
Ever tell you this (Ever tell you this)
There is no forgiving it (No forgiving it!)

I promised you
I'd always be there but that
Couldn't be less true (Couldn't be less true!)
It's the worst thing I could do
