Enemy
Betrayed Bonds: Charlie Hewitt's Powerful Reflection on Friendship
Lyrics
Did you ever stop to think
Contemplating if the listener ever considered being wrong
That maybe you were in the wrong
Suggesting that the listener might have been mistaken
I didn't ever want to be here
Expressing unwillingness to be in the current situation and writing the song
Writing this song
Conveying the act of composing the song reluctantly
But you did this to yourself
Attributing the listener's current state to their own actions
I must have been so deluded
Admitting to a possible state of confusion or misunderstanding
To think that you weren't out there
Reflecting on the misguided belief that the listener wasn't intending harm
Out there just to hurt me
Realizing that the listener may have had malicious intentions
Heartbreak from a friend
Experiencing emotional pain from a betrayal by a friend
Betrayed and left with no defence
Feeling vulnerable and lacking protection after being betrayed
I thought you'd be there till the end
Expecting the listener's support until the end, but now perceiving them as an enemy
But now you're just an enemy to me
Declaring the listener as an enemy due to the perceived betrayal
There are times I start to feel
Admitting moments of self-doubt and questioning one's morality
That maybe I'm a bad person
Acknowledging a sense of injustice in the way the listener made the speaker feel
But I know that it's not fair
Rejecting the fairness of being made to feel worthless by the listener
That you made me feel so worthless
Expressing the impact of the listener's actions on the speaker's self-worth
Remember all those times I was there for you
Recalling past instances of support provided to the listener
Like you were there for me
Comparing the past mutual support to the current lack of understanding from the listener
Now you don't know me at all
Observing that the listener no longer understands the speaker
Look at what you made me do
Pointing out the consequences of the listener's actions on the speaker
Heartbreak from a friend
Reiterating the emotional pain from the betrayal by a friend
Betrayed and left with no defence
Emphasizing the feeling of being left defenseless after the betrayal
I thought you'd be there till the end
Expressing the initial expectation of the listener's loyalty until the end
But now you're just an enemy to me
Reaffirming the transformation of the listener into an enemy
Heartbreak from a friend
Repeating the experience of heartbreak from the betrayal
Betrayed and left with no defence
Reiterating the feeling of being defenseless after the betrayal
I thought you'd be there till the end
Reiterating the initial expectation of the listener's loyalty until the end
But now you're just an enemy to me
Concluding that the listener has become an enemy
