Unveiling Betrayal: Howzat? A Tale of Deception by Graham Blvd
Lyrics
You told me I was the one
You assured me that I was the special one in your life.
The only one who got your head undone
I was the only person who had a significant impact on you.
And for a while I believed the line that you spun
For a period, I believed the story or excuse you told.
But I've been looking at you
I've been observing you closely.
Looking closely at the things you do
Examining your actions and behavior.
I didn't see it the way you wanted me to
I didn't perceive things the way you intended or wanted me to.
How, how, howzat/
Expressing surprise or disbelief, possibly sarcastic.
You messed about
You were unfaithful or disloyal.
I caught you out
I discovered your betrayal.
Howzat?
Asking in a challenging way, "How's that for your actions?"
Now that I found where you're at, it's goodbye
Since I've found out where you stand, it's time to say goodbye.
Well, howzat?
Repeating the question with a sense of finality.
It's goodbye
Confirming the farewell.
You only came for a smile
Your intentions were insincere; you only sought superficial happiness.
Even though you're really not my style
Even though you're not my preferred type or match.
I didn't think that you'd run me 'round like you do
I didn't anticipate that you would deceive or manipulate me.
How, how, howzat?
Reiterating surprise or disappointment.
You messed about
You were unfaithful or disloyal.
I caught you out
I exposed your deceit.
Howzat?
Repeating the questioning of your actions.
Now that I found where you're at, it's goodbye
Since I've figured out your true nature, it's time to part ways.
Well, howzat?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the finality of the situation.
It's goodbye
Confirming the end of the relationship.
Well, I've been looking at you
Reiterating the act of observing someone closely.
(I'll tell you what I see)
Providing insight into what the speaker sees.
Looking closely at the things you do
Examining the actions with scrutiny.
(No you can't fool me)
Asserting that the speaker cannot be fooled or deceived.
I didn't see it the way you wanted me to
Repeating the theme of misperception or misunderstanding.
How, how, howzat?
Expressing disbelief or questioning someone's actions.
You messed about
You were unfaithful or disloyal.
I caught you out
I uncovered your deception.
Howzat?
Reiterating the challenging question about one's actions.
Now that I found where you're at, it's goodbye
Since I now know your true character, it's time to part ways.
Howzat?

You messed about
You were unfaithful or disloyal.
I caught you out
I exposed your betrayal.
Howzat?
