Snakes with a smile

Lyrics

[Intro — Low, Emotional] I learned the hard way, everybody close ain't loyal… They say actions speak louder, yours been screaming for a minute. I was too busy defending you, I couldn't see you was the villain. I gave a snake a place to sleep, now I'm the one that's sleeping with suspicion. You ain't break my heart in pieces, you changed the way I look at friendship. [Hook — Melodic, Catchy] Your loyalty was rented, you just couldn't pay the price, You was sunshine in my face, but you was thunder in my life. I gave you diamonds from my soul, you gave me glass and called it ice, You was standing by my side, but never standing on my side. I put my trust inside your hands, you turned my heart into a crime scene, You was acting like a brother, whole time moving like a mime scheme. I was feeding you my blessings, you was calculating my means, Now I read between the lines 'cause your behavior tell me everything. [Verse 1 — Punchline After Punchline] I gave you the ladder, you climbed it, then you kicked out the steps, You was borrowing my light, got offended when I started to shine next. You treated loyalty like credit, kept on spending what you never had, Now you asking for forgiveness like my memory got amnesia attached. You a wolf in a hoodie, had the whole pack fooled, I was breaking every rule for you, you was breaking every rule of truth. You put poison in the well, then asked me why the water wasn't smooth, I was fighting for our bond while you was cutting every rope I threw. Your friendship was a lease, I ain't know the love expired, You was fanning all my flames, then complained about the fire. I put you in my corner, you was secretly the referee, Every time I took a loss, you found another way to penalize me. You got two faces, that's a double-sided investment, One was full of compliments, the other full of resentment. You was studying my wounds like a doctor with bad intentions, Now every scar's a certificate, I graduated from deception. You was keeping me around like a spare tire in the trunk, Only called me when your life was flat, never when your luck was up. You was drinking from my fountain, talking crazy when the well dried up, Funny how the ones you carry always question if you strong enough. [Hook — Melodic] Your loyalty was rented, you just couldn't pay the price, You was sunshine in my face, but you was thunder in my life. I gave you diamonds from my soul, you gave me glass and called it ice, You was standing by my side, but never standing on my side. I put my trust inside your hands, you turned my heart into a crime scene, You was acting like a brother, whole time moving like a mime scheme. I was feeding you my blessings, you was calculating my means, Now I read between the lines 'cause your behavior tell me everything. [Verse 2 — Darker Wordplay & Double Meanings] You wanted front-row seats to my downfall, that's a strange way to support, You was praying for my happiness with your fingers crossed for more. I gave you keys to every door, you changed the locks when I got poor, Now you knocking like we family, but family don't keep score. I was loyal to a fault, you made my loyalty a weakness, You was fluent in apologies, but your actions couldn't speak it. You kept your promises on paper, but your behavior couldn't read it, You was selling me a dream while you was secretly asleep in it. I gave you my last dollar, you gave me change in your character, You made a home inside my heart, then left the windows open for the predators. You was counting all my blessings like an unpaid creditor, I thought you was a brother, turns out you was just a competitor. You can't call yourself a real one if your truth got a disguise, That's like calling it a sunrise when the darkness never dies. You was throwing dirt upon my name, then helping me plant my rise, Now the flowers from my pain got you allergic to my shine. You played both sides so long, you got confused about your team, You was living off my loyalty, mistaking it for being weak. I was giving you the benefit, you kept collecting every fee, Now the interest on your betrayal is the fact you can't reach me. [Bridge — Emotional Guitar, Melodic] I wish I knew then what I know now, Not every hand that lifts you up won't let you down. Some people build you up just to control your fall, Some people say they love you just to study where you're soft. You were a chapter dressed like family, A lesson wearing my favorite memories. I gave you every reason to be real with me, You gave me every reason to question what is real to me. [Verse 3 — Heavy Punchlines, No Filler] I stopped chasing closure, some doors lock from the inside, You can't get the truth from someone who makes a living off disguise. You was a mirror full of cracks, kept reflecting all your lies, I thought I lost a real friend, I just lost a good disguise. You can't throw stones from a glass house, then complain about the damage, You made betrayal look so normal, I almost started calling it a habit.
