The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you When a friend tries to stab you right in the face Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew Don't sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change And it doesn't seem likely to fade Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice False pretense you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense you'll hurt again
All along you know you thought you got the best of me {But} you were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face I cannot believe you claimed you were my family Don't sweat it - it's set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change And it doesn't seem likely to fade Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice False pretense you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense you'll hurt again
[Spoken:] guitar
Oh, it's time to let it go
I can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role? It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke...
It's sacrifice False pretense you'll hurt again Stop pretending to deny False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game until you run out And play the game into my hand
