The Day I Turned My Back on You
Betrayal's Toll: Abandoning What Mattered
Lyrics
I created this thing in my mind.
I conceptualized an idea or belief within my thoughts.
Looking at it now I don't see why.
Upon reflection, I don't understand the rationale behind it now.
I threw away everything I had
I discarded everything I possessed.
And "greener pastures" is just a lie.
The concept of "better opportunities" is deceptive.
I realize all these things now that it's too late.
I recognize these truths, but it's too late to act on them.
I guess that's part of the price I gotta pay.
Part of the consequences I must endure.
I betrayed myself when I betrayed you.
I betrayed not only you but also myself.
I threw my life away
I wasted my existence.
The day I turned my back on you.
The moment I chose to turn away from you was pivotal.
I turned and ran away.
I actively avoided and fled.
I turned and ran away from the truth,
I evaded the truth.
The truth in everything.
The truth inherent in everything, every aspect of our past.
Everything we used to do.
All the shared experiences we once had.
I never had reason to doubt you.
I never had cause to question or distrust you.
I loved everything about you.
I cherished every aspect of who you were.
If I could just take it back I would.
If possible, I would undo my actions.
I threw my life away
I wasted my existence.
The day I turned my back on you.
The crucial moment was when I turned my back on you.
Believing my own lies,
I believed and propagated falsehoods.
I lost myself and I lost everythiing.
I lost my true self and everything I held dear.
If I could just take it back I would.
If given the chance, I would rectify my mistakes.
I threw my life away
I wasted my existence.
The day I turned my back on you.
The critical moment was when I turned my back on you.
