Can't Pretend

You smile and try to make me Laugh about the past Like everything is fine Exhuming tales from your selective memory When we fought side by side I remember how we Faced down countless enemies You always played the clown Before you double-crossed me With a dagger in the back As trolls all cut me down Once, I had kind things to say Once, till words got in the way Once, I thought you were my friend Once, but now I can't pretend And yet I wonder What they must have offered you To make you sell me out I never took you for a rat Even the thought Still makes me curse out loud I remember how we Faced down countless enemies You always played the clown Before you double-crossed me With a dagger in the back As trolls all cut me down To blood and ashes To blood and ashes I spill the dregs And shake the dust off my feet To blood and ashes To blood and ashes I wash my hands of thee Once, I had kind things to say Once, till words got in the way Once, I thought you were my friend Once, but now I can't pretend
