Betrayal Lyrics

When the book of love is written, I am the writer And by the last page, you will not be mentioned It's not because you never loved me It's just because you lost your faith This is a story of betrayal (Ha-ha) You couldn't see your fall from grace (Ha-ha) So take the hammer, hit the nail (Ha-ha) You'll never take my mother's place (Ha-ha-ha) Open the dam, let the water crash in Let it go, let it go, let it go Open the dam, let the watеr rush in Let it go, let it go, let it go Thе chapters, they are many, the verses, they are few I hope that when it's over, I'll still think of you It's not because I can't forgive you It's just because I lost my faith This is the story of survival You couldn't see your fall from grace So take the hammer, hit the nail You'll never take my mother's place (Ha-ha-ha) Open the dam, let the water crash in Let it go, let it go, let it go Open the dam, let the water rush in Let it go, let it go, let it go (Open the dam, let the water crash in) (Let it go, let it go, let it go) Open the dam, let the water rush in Let it go, let it go, let it go And now we're dancing, yes, we're dancing We're together, forever You betrayed me, you've enslaved me We're together 'til the end And we're dancing, yes, we're dancing We're together, forever Used to hate you, I don't hate you Blocked forever 'til the end Open the dam, let the water crash in Let it go, let it go, let it go
The word "betrayal" is very emotional because it expresses all the feelings of a broken heart, forgiveness and finding happiness again after being betrayed by someone dear and close. According to Madonna, one's life is a book in which that person has already been crossed out from the last page, meaning that despite their former importance, they cannot be a part of the writer's future anymore. Opening the floodgates means getting rid of all the feelings of pain, bitterness, and memories.

This song is written by Madonna, Stuart Price, Mirwais Ahmadzaï, and Erik Satie. Betrayal is the subject, but the theme is quite different – it is about recovering and not about revenge or retribution.
