Betrayal Lyrics
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.
