Wang Chung - Betrayal lyrics

(wang chung / peter wolf) We met as friends of friends while still at school I was all you ever really knew When we met it was like a dream For all i knew we could not fail But now i know of your betrayal Living in the older part of town I worked all hours i could to bring us 'round Your career was alive for you But deep inside i watched it fail And now i know of your betrayal Your betrayal If only i could hold you close But now i know how love grows frail When i asked if you'd leave me Or 'bout the boyfriends you'd had You said you'd stay with me always And that you'd never be bad But i would notice a smile That you would hold within As if your vanity flirted With your knowledge of sin Now you're quiet and cold Your eyes just stare into space And if i ask you to talk You just dissemble your face And the smile that i hated Is now a frown of denial And that's how i know of your unspoken betrayal Oh, that's how i know of your unspoken betrayal Now i wish that i'd set you free But i was terrified that i would fail And now i know of your betrayal Your betrayal If only i could hold you close But now i know how love grows frail Oh now i know of your betrayal Now i know of your betrayal
