Backstabber
Before Their Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've come to see what lies behind those eyes.

Try to hide it
But you can't hide
You're full of lies.

It gets plain to see
You ways have been disguised.

You can't deny it
You've got something to hide
I just want you to know.

You're a backstabber
That's all you'll ever be to me,
I'll waste my words.

What else do you hide behind those eyes?

I've grown so sick of spending my whole life believing your eyes.

You can try to fight it
But you know you're what I despise.

Then when you're down
And that I hope your thoughts.

Are what you regret.

You let it show with every single game you play
And everybody knows.

You're a backstabber
That's all you'll ever be to me,
I'll waste my words.

What else do you hide behind those eyes?

I think it's time
To find what you've done wrong.

You don't know
What you've done
Everytime you lie.

You're just a ghost to me
What else do you hide behind those eyes?
This is the last time.

Backstabber, x2
That's all you'll ever be to me,
I'll waste my words.

You're a backstabber
That's all you'll ever be to me,
I'll waste my words.

What else do you hide behind those eyes?

Backstabber
That's all you'll ever be to me,
You're a backstabber
That's all you'll ever be to me,
I'll waste my words.





I've grown so sick of spending my whole life believing your eyes.
