 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 friends
 (hold)
 Your best friends
 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
I let  you down  so many times
 But I can't ever  tell you this
 There is no  forgiving it
I promised  you I'd  always be  there
 But that couldn’t  be less true
 It's the worst  thing I could do
 You're gonna bet  it all on black
 And when it's gone  you'll want  it back
 Cause truth will 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
 (Repeat Chorus)
 Growl:
 My loss your gain
 Do you love to
 play this way?
 I’ll cross your face
 It's your reckoning
 Sing:
 Hold in the pain
 We're better
 off this way
 We don't explain
 We're better
 off this way
 Friends are in
vain  We're better
 off this way
 Growl:
 (Better off this  way)
 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 friends
 (hold)
 Your best friends
 (Repeat Chorus)
