Jeffery Brunner - Betrayal

Listen to you heart they tell him,
All the while he wonders how can he?
She still has his heart no matter how hard he tries...

His heart, the voices, the memories
They all betray him...

His thoughts are filled with piercing memories
All those days of happiness are now gone,
So far gone that they seem nearly unreachable

He stretches out reaching for her
Her beauty nearly blinding him
As he reaches he realizes that,
he may never be able to reach her again

The truth becomes more clear
He finally grasps her
and in that instant all things are clear as glass

Just when all seems perfect
A pain overwhelms his body...

His heart has failed him,
It has betrayed him one final time...
