Verse 1:
I was raised on promises, never my own,
In a house built on silence, where seeds of doubt were sown.
Hugs turned to daggers, love to disdain,
Every whispered secret just a memory of pain.
Chorus:
Betrayed by blood, a dagger to the heart,
The ones I called my own, tearing me apart.
In shadows of trust, where light should have shone,
Betrayed by blood, forever alone.
Verse 2:
Worn-out smiles, like masks on my face,
Every gathering a reminder of my place.
Blood ties so strong, yet so easily torn,
In the garden of love, I feel so worn.
Chorus:
Betrayed by blood, a dagger to the heart,
The ones I called my own, tearing me apart.
In shadows of trust, where light should have shone,
Betrayed by blood, forever alone.
Bridge:
I thought we had forever, thought we were the same,
But every whisper of compassion, turned into shame.
Looking back at memories, now just broken chains,
In the end, it’s clear, it’s all just been a game.
Chorus:
Betrayed by blood, a dagger to the heart,
The ones I called my own, tearing me apart.
In shadows of trust, where light should have shone,
Betrayed by blood, forever alone.
Outro:
But from this pain, I’ll rise from the dust,
I’ll learn to let go, it’s a must.
No more shadows, no shame in my name,
Betrayed by blood, I’ll never be the same.
