You used to say I should open my eyes
She's a weight, she'll drag you down
You warned me like a prophet does
With a brother's voice and a worried frown
Held me close like we were blood
Spoke of freedom, truth, and light
But I was blind, caught in the flood
Thinking your words were always right
But it wasn't you who made me leave
I woke up late, but I left
What I didn't see or dare believe
Was the knife behind your breath
You held my anchor
Just to toss it in the sea
Preached like some saint
Then kissed the lips you called disease
A fake escuse and no face to face
Like betrayal leaves no trace
You stole what you claimed would break me
You were anchor and blade, hiding in grace
Now I see silence speaks the loudest
And friendship wears a mask too well
You warned me like a loyal friend
But mapped the path where you would dwell
Was it envy wrapped in care?
Or control you craved to keep?
I tried to trace the reasons there
But people like you cut and leave
I don't wish you what I lived
But may your conscience never sleep
Those who strike behind the back
Never lie in slumber deep
You held my anchor
Just to toss it in the sea
Preached like some saint
Then kissed the lips you called disease
No sorry, no face to face
Like betrayal leaves no trace
You stole what you claimed would break me
You were anchor and blade
Now I walk without you both
And I wear this lesson proud
Not every friend is shelter
Not every warning's loud
