How Could You Betray Me Like That?

I was inspired to write this after listening to Keith Urban's 'Stupid Boy'. It's written from the girl's point of view and I added a few things that weren't in the song

 

HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THAT?

How could you betray me like this?

I gave you my heart, my soul.

I trusted you with my life, I trusted you.

How could you betray me like this?

I put my dreams in your hands,

I put my hopes in your hands,

I loved you.

How could you betray me like this?

All I wanted was your love,

all I wanted was your attention.

I did my best to get you to love me,

even just a little.

How could you betray me like this?

You told me that my dreams were unreasonable,

that they couldn’t possibly come true.

You told me to have no hope,

because they were like ‘world peace,’

it wasn’t happening.

How could you betray me like that?

You nearly got me killed once,

and almost twice…

you acted like it was no big deal.

I told you things that no one else knew,

and you wrote a book on them.

You made money off me,

I won’t take it.

How could you betray me like that?

You still have my soul,

and you still have my heart,

even though I’m 5,000 miles away.

I finally figured it out,

that I could run from you.

And still keep what was left of me,

left of my dreams, and

what was left of my hopes.

So I ran.

I packed my bags and left.

And once I was gone,

I was long gone.

I met someone new and I moved on.

He’s waiting for me to give him

my heart and my soul.

But I told him I couldn’t, that some one

5,000 miles away still has it.

How could you betray me like that?
