You Were My Friend
Betrayal Under the Oak Tree
Lyrics
Summer was the best
Summer was a time of happiness and joy.
A life of peace before this mess
Life was peaceful before the current difficult situation.
Bumble bees and smoke free air
Describing a serene environment with nature elements.
Living life without a care
Lived carefree without worries.
We promised that we’d have each other’s backs
Both promised mutual support.
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Made a commitment to stand together during hard times.
Oh how could you just turn on me like that
Expresses surprise and hurt at a betrayal.
How could you just let me be attacked
Feeling abandoned and unprotected.
Oh you were my friend
Addressing the person who betrayed as a friend.
I thought we’d be together til the end
Expected the friendship to last forever.
Oh you were my friend
Reiteration of considering the person as a friend.
I thought you’d stick by me until the end
Expected loyalty till the very end.
We won the war then lost it all
Won a conflict but lost everything afterward.
Locked behind these great big towering walls
Feeling trapped and isolated.
Please don’t leave me in my time of need
Begging not to be abandoned during a difficult time.
Can’t you see I’m hanging by a string
Expressing extreme vulnerability.
And as the sun set on the horizon
Describing a serene moment as the day ends.
And the music filled the air
Remembering a musical moment in a peaceful setting.
Under the oak tree we made a promise
Recollection of making a commitment under a tree.
I remember I was there
Confirmation of personal presence during the commitment.
We promised that we’d have each other’s backs
Repeated assurance of mutual support.
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Reaffirmation of standing together during chaos.
Oh how could you just turn on me like that
Expresses surprise and hurt at a betrayal (repeated).
How could you just let me be attacked
Feeling abandoned and unprotected (repeated).
Oh you were my friend
Addressing the person who betrayed as a friend (repeated).
I thought we’d be together til the end
Expected the friendship to last forever (repeated).
Oh you were my friend
Reiteration of considering the person as a friend (repeated).
I thought you’d stick by me until the end
Expected loyalty till the very end (repeated).
And we were sitting on the bench
Recalling a moment of closeness.
You said let’s run away together
Discussing a desire to escape together.
Oh tell me how’d it come to this
Expressing confusion over the current situation.
How’d we get so far from brothers
Feeling distant from a previously close relationship.
Friends forever
Expressing the expectation of everlasting friendship.
We promised that we’d have each other’s backs
Repeated assurance of mutual support.
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Reaffirmation of standing together during chaos.
Oh how could you just turn on me like that
Expresses surprise and hurt at a betrayal (repeated).
How could you just let me be attacked
Feeling abandoned and unprotected (repeated).
Oh you were my friend
Addressing the person who betrayed as a friend (repeated).
I thought we’d be together til the end
Expected the friendship to last forever (repeated).
Oh you were my friend
Reiteration of considering the person as a friend (repeated).
I thought you’d stick by me until the end
Expected loyalty till the very end (repeated).
