You Were Close

I gave you my trust, put my back to the wall

Told you my secrets, I told you it all

You smiled in my face, said "bro I'm here"

But the knife you was hiding was already near

I was praying for peace, you was praying I fall

Same table we ate, now you don't call

I defended your name when they spoke you wrong

Now I sit here alone tryna stay strong

I never thought the pain would come from you

Out of all the people, I thought you was true

You were close, that's why it hurt like this

Your betrayal cut deeper than an enemy's wish

I would've fought the world, yeah, I swear I would

But I never thought I'd need armor from you

You were close, now my heart don't trust

Every "I got you" turned into dust

I lost more than you, I lost my peace

Betrayal from love don't ever heal easy

We laughed in the dark, dreamed of better days

Now your name still echoes in my pain

I see your face every time I'm low

Asking God why He let me trust you so

You knew my scars, you knew my fears

You watched me bleed, you watched my tears

I would've stayed even when it was hard

But you chose betrayal over heart

I tried to heal, but the truth cuts deep

'Cause the wounds you gave me still don't sleep

You were close, that's why it hurt like this

Your betrayal cut deeper than an enemy's wish

I would've fought the world, yeah, I swear I would

But I never thought I'd need armor from you

You were close, now my heart don't trust

Every "I got you" turned into dust

I lost more than you, I lost my peace

Betrayal from love don't ever heal easy

If I had known, I would've walked away

Saved my heart from these sleepless days

Now I move silent, I move alone

Building walls where love once grown

I forgive you, but I won't forget

Some lessons are paid with regret

You lost someone real, I lost my light

But I'll heal... just not tonight
