When you’ve been betrayed by your best friend,
then you feel betrayed by them all
Cos what could make any less sense
What could make you feel more small

When you turn to folk that you trusted
and you ask “Do you respect me?”
It’s fair, ain’t it, to expect them
to say “‘course, don’t be silly”

Instead I’ve been betrayed by folk
that I though I could trust
I have to say that it’s no joke
It’s set my heart to bust

So I climbed to the top of a mountain
then I plunged to the depths of the sea
but I could not find the answer
to a problem that’s called me

Instead I’ve been betrayed by folk
that I though I could trust
I have to say that it’s no joke
It’s set my heart to bust
