Loyalty's Pain

You thought you could play me, thought I'd never see The lies and the whispers, the shadows and deceit But I'm not made for vengeance, not gonna play your game My loyalty's my weapon, and it'll put you to shame If you cheat, I'm not cheating back My heart's not built for that kind of attack I'll stand by my honor, let truth be my friend My loyalty will hurt you in the end You think you're the winner, with your secret plans But you're holding fire in your bare hands I'll walk away with my head held high Your betrayal won't break me, I won't even cry If you cheat, I'm not cheating back My heart's not built for that kind of attack I'll stand by my honor, let truth be my friend My loyalty will hurt you in the end In the silence of the night, when you're all alone You'll feel the weight of what you've done, like a heavy stone And you'll remember my love, pure and true The way I stood by, when you turned so cruel If you cheat, I'm not cheating back My heart's not built for that kind of attack I'll stand by my honor, let truth be my friend My loyalty will hurt you in the end So go on and live with the choices you've made I'll find my peace, and I won't be swayed In the mirror, you'll see, a reflection so clear My loyalty's the wound you'll forever bear
