Betrayal
L\'ame Immortelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And suicide seems the way of choice
I think of your betrayal
Which still echoes with your voice
I gave you all that I could give
My soul, my heart, my mind
And I didn't see the future coming
Tell me: Why did you betray me?
Why did you do the things you've done?
Tell me: Why did you betray me?
Destroyed my life with so much fun
You took all that you could get from me
Until the final day
My pride, my light, my energy
My sight to see my way
You left me empty on the floor
Without even looking back
And then you walked through the door
And my life turned black

In these moments when I think of you
When I am reminded of you
And suicide seems the way of choice
And I consider ending my own life as an option
I think of your betrayal
I think of the way you hurt me
Which still echoes with your voice
Which still reminds me of the things you said
I gave you all that I could give
I gave you everything I had
My soul, my heart, my mind
My deepest emotions, my love, my thoughts and beliefs
And I didn't see the future coming
And I didn't predict what would happen next
Because I've been too blind
Because I ignored the signs and the truth
Tell me: Why did you betray me?
Explain your motivation to hurt me
Why did you do the things you've done?
Why did you act in such a hurtful way?
Tell me: Why did you betray me?
Give me a reason for your actions
Destroyed my life with so much fun
Ruined my existence in a carefree, almost playful way
You took all that you could get from me
You exploited me to the fullest extent
Until the final day
Until the very end of our relationship
My pride, my light, my energy
My self-respect, my hope, my vitality
My sight to see my way
My ability to navigate and understand the world
You left me empty on the floor
You left me feeling drained and worthless
Without even looking back
Without any regard for my wellbeing
And then you walked through the door
And then you left my life completely
And my life turned black
And my life became filled with sorrow and despair
