Betrayal
Michael Learns to Rock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love has gone away, quietly after a hundred days.
This is what's she has always said she won't stay for more than what she can repay.

I can still hear her say there that I'm not hearing tender play
The day she let me kiss her was a display, of love to those who she betray

How can I put someone to the test, when I thought I got the best?
Until the taste of bitterness then I regret but still that I won't detest, the love I can't forget, like someone who has left.

How can I leave someone for the rest when I'm facing the best?
Until the taste of treachery then I regret.
But still that I won't detest who I can never forget like someone I once met.

I can still hear her say there that I'm not hearing tender play
The day she let me kiss her was a display, of love to those who she betray

How can I put someone to the test, when I thought I got the best?
Until the taste of bitterness then I regret but still that I won't detest, the love I can't forget, like someone who has left.

How can I leave someone for the rest when I'm facing the best?
Until the taste of treachery then I regret.
But still that I won't detest who I can never forget like someone I once met.

How can I put someone to the test, when I thought I got the best?
Until the taste of bitterness then I regret but still that I won't detest, the love I can't forget, like someone who has left.

How can I leave someone for the rest when I'm facing the best?




Until the taste of treachery then I regret.
But still that I won't detest who I can never forget like someone I once met.

My love has gone away,
Quietly after a hundered days.
This is what's she has always said she won't stay
For more than what she can repay.

I can still hear her say there
That I'm not hearing tender play
The day she let me kiss her was a display,
Of love to those who she betray.

How can I put someone to the test,
When I thought I got the best.
Untill the taste of bitterness then I regret
But still that I won't detest,
The love I can't forget,
Like someone who has left.

How can i leave someone for the rest
When i'm alone facing the best
Untill they take some try to reason i regret
But still that i won't detest
Who i can never forget
Like someone i once met .
