Betrayed Lyrics - The Human Factor - Metal Church

I've been waking up shaking and the bottles are gone 

What will I do with my day and how will I get along? 

I need a replacement for the habit I have 

I just need to get something, I can't live in the past 

The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away 

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray 

What looks like it's harmless is rotten inside 

What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die 

I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise 

But I've been living in a nightmare behind a party disguise 

The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away 

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray 

Just take a drink and you will find yourself back where you started 

Temptation is the hardest thing, just push it all away 

Once you take the first step, there'll be no more turning back 

Just take a look at how far you progressed to be sober 

Lose faith in yourself, off the wagon you will fall 

Staying clean and sober is the only way to go 

What looks like it's harmless is rotten inside 

What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die 

I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise 

But I've been living in a nightmare behind a party disguise 

The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away 

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray
