traitor

we were headed in one direction
I veered right
never gave any indication
just turned away into the night

I've left you standing in a place
that seems alone
I've gone on without the grace
to wait for you to come along
traitor, sold us out
joined the other side
traitor, there's no doubt
it's a label I can't deny
slam me-- damn me
I'm a traitor
not going where you want to go
not being fine
returning to some first doors
and re-asking myself why

why had I left those things
what I was
what was part of me
and finding the first cause
traitor, sold me out
never joined our side
traitor, there's no doubt
it's a label I can't deny
can't retreat, gonna grieve
I'm a traitor
